This was good, but not great. My husband wanted a little something more to it. I would probably make it again but maybe tweak it somehow. Thanks for the recipe though and the opportunity to try something you created. So cool!! I also used instant potatoes. Added some salsa to the meat to avoid having to cut up onions. :-)

We ate the whole thing for lunch. Guess we own't be having much dinner. This is awesome. So much flavor, so easy to make. I divided prep in half because I've been too sick to cook. As a result, the meat mixture sat overnight in the fridge. I wonder if this helped meld the flavors even more as that seems to be the case with these kinds of spices. I used instant mashed potatoes the next night....no problem at all. In addition, I cooked the onion with the ground beef, eliminating 1T. of fat and a step in prep. It's the only Shepard's Pie I've ever wanted second helpings on.
