This went together quickly as I had cooked ground beef that I had defrosted in fridge and we had leftover mashed potatoes from last night. It was pretty good. We felt like it needed more corn so I ended up just cooking a can real quick after we had all started eating and we spooned it on top. Thanks for the recipe.

Made some for my family and also froze some for a friend who needed some pre-cooked meals after surgery. Excellent reviews from both. Will make again. Very easy to assemble, comforting to eat..I used pre shredded casserole cheese for top instead of processed as it seemed to work for me better...just a personal preference :) Frozen one cooked at 350 for an hour and was fine. Added cheese when hour passed for last 15 min. perf!

This Shepherd's Pie is a keeper for me. It held together so you could neatly serve it in squares and yet remain very moist and flavorfully. I went with the Cream of Mushroom soup as the binder to hold it all together. Because we have to watch our salt intake, I replaced the garlic salt with a garlic powder, salt & pepper blend that I use, and I only used about a teaspoon... maybe a touch more. I had a package of shredded cheddar, so that is the cheese I used to top it all off. Incidently, I made only half of the recipe and baked it in a 8"x8" casserole dish. Thanks for a new way to make our Shepard's Pie...I love variety.

This was a great fast tasty meal! When preparing the instant mashed potatoes I did not use salt. There was plenty in the soup. I also used Sharp Cheddar for the cheese. Thanks so much Dannygirl

Best Shepherd's Pie I ever tasted. I would have never thought of using cream of mushroom soup;it's a great idea. I only used one tbsp of worchestershire because that's all I had.I also put some margerine and paprika on top. Thanks Dannygirl for this delicious recipe.
