Very good and very easy to make. DH absolutely loved it. Next time I would like to make 3/4 ground beef and 1/4 sauage and throw in a can of green chilies. I added fresh garlic to the mashed potatoes and fresh ground pepper to meat and potatoes. Thank you so much for this easy recipe. Made for PAC Spring 2008

This recipe was like shepard's pie without the veggies. It was good, but couldn't taste the sage and it could have used more flavor, possibly garlic?? Will try again and see what I can add to give it a little punch.
