  1. This was really good! I used a garlic mashed potato and added corn as well as peas. Made for PAC Spring '12
     
  2. I've never made Shepard's pie before trying this recipe. I don't think it's my kind of dish. I just thought it was a little blah. Had lots of leftovers and was very sick of this dish by the time it was all used up. Perhaps this is a good recipe, if you like shepards pie.
     
  3. Delicious! The nutmeg IS the secret! Such great comfort food. I used a little less mashed potatoes about 4 cups, a little more meat about 1 3/4lbs, 8 oz cheese and about 12 oz of frozen peas just because that is what I had on hand and the only thing I would change next time would be to add about one more cup of potatoes. Thanks for a great version of this classic food.
     
  4. This is a wonderful satisfying dish that I can't wait to make again. Since hubby does not like nutmeg, I just sprinkled half of it with nutmeg. I love it!!! Thanks for sharing, Sqrl. This will make many repeat performances at our table.
