Excellant shepard's pie, I had no sour cream in so I subed with low fat yogurt, worked out very well. Also used baker potatoes becuse that was what I had in; had a small piece of mozzarella cheese to use up so I mixed it in with the cheddar. very good comfort food dinner, thanks for posting, will be making it again.

A really tasty, filling meal. The flavors blend well together and is very easy to fix. I would make this again, but my son didn't care for it. I followed the recipe pretty closely. I knew mixed vegetables would not go over here, so I used a can of green beans and a can of corn. I added a small onion, chopped, to the ground chuck when I was cooking it. I also substituted chili sauce for the ketchup and then reduced the worcestershire sauce. and exceptional. Definitely worth a try for anyone who enjoys Shepherd's Pie.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I moved from Ohio to the West Coast about 4 years ago and I currently work as an assistant at an intellectual property law firm in Silicon Valley.
I love to cook and experiment in the kitchen. I'm not much of baker, though, since I hate to measure my ingredients. Like most everyone else these days, I am always on the lookout for low-calorie recipes. I recently married and I try to cook dinner for my husband and I at least 6 times a week, which he heartily supports.
When I'm not cooking or browsing through cookbooks from the library or second-hand store, I can usually be found knitting something, playing video games with DH, or just watching tv. I also love exploring the great outdoors, whether it be hiking, kayaking, biking, or just doing a little sightseeing around town. I am finishing up a paralegal certificate at the community college and am now considering preparation for law school. The crockpot recipes here definitely helped us stay fed while I was taking night classes!
