This is the only way that I will be making Shepherd's Pie from now on! To make it easier I bought OreIda's Ready to Mash frozen potatoes. The only change I may make in the future is to add some peas for extra nourishment. This was outstanding as is though!

recipe is poorly written - forgot the "Stir in beef broth..." on the ingredients list. Also things like 2 carrots or 3 parsnips are too vague.

my family loves this even MORE than the "normal" version of shepherds pie!!! I also have the RR magazine with this recipe in it, and have made it MANY times... THANKS for posting it!!!

This was my first attempt at a shepherd's pie. The parsnips gave it an unusual and sweet flavor. Overall, it was pretty good, but just a touch bland. If I make it again, I'll throw some more flavorful ingredients in.
