 Tried it! Too rich but quite delicious actually! The Worecestershire sauce is rather dilute. I added 4 tbsp to 1 lb meat to get some taste :) |

| Agree with the previous comment - up the levels of Lea and Perrins to ensure you get enough flavour. |

| Very good Shepherd's Pie - one of the best I've had! Next time I would just add more veggies to it! I also used ground Elk meat instead of beef. |

| A tasty sounding pie if ever there was one. I am curious about the name, Shepard's Pie. Why beef and not lamb? Cowherd Pie doesn't sound very good I suppose. Make this dish with ground lamb, and even with bison. I will definitely try that Squash/carrot topping. |

| Thats not a Shepards Pie, unless it is made with lamb! Shepards=lamb, Cottage = Beef. They are not interchangeable. And you would never use corn in a traditional shepards pie. There is nothing wrong with changing recipes and using new ingredients, but then it is not the traditional food and needs a different name! |

| The English call this Cottage Pie. I loved this , and like a previous poster I hated this when I was younger. I also used more Lea and Perrins Sauce to it, but then I like tangy and spicy food. Made it twice now, once withminced beef, and once with Lamb, preferred the Beef. |

Needed more kick in my opinion so I diced up 2 tbsp of fresh ginger and added and simmered in beer. Very good |

| Wonder if I could replace the peas for corn and mushrooms - thoughts? |
| Navid, Rank: Top Chef | 2009 Jan 28 |
 You can certainly do that. You should just add mushrooms from the beginning. Or you can saute them separately and then add to the lamb before cooking in the oven. |
it tasted awesome!!!it was the best shepherds pie i have tasted... |

I am big fan of Shepherds/Cottage pie. I add creamed corn to the mix, use a lot more Lea and Perrins and take a handful of potato chips and crush them into dust to sprinkle on the top with a little bit of shredded sharp cheddar cheese before putting it into the oven. It makes a very tasty crust. A tablespoon of Tabasco in the beef mix is a nice way to enhance the flavour as well. |
Silly to think it's not Shepherd's or Cottage pie due to a few changed ingredients... Is a pizza not a pizza because you put ham & pineapple on it? |

Agree with Chris.. Shall we split hairs on Sauce vs. Gravy next? Awesome recipe, a SHEPHERD's PIE if I've ever eaten one...and I've made many.Adding a pack of leek soup mix to the potatoes makes for a delicious twist, and putting well aged cheddar in/ontop of the potatoes and serving it with cheese sauce is my favorite way. (going to try chips next time too for texture) Wicked recipe! |

I added half sweet potatoes and half Yukon Gold potatoes to it with half and half cream. It was delilous, Now my hubby will eat it for the fiber and he loves it too, |

added 1 can corn, baby carrots, frozen peas. didn't measure the lea and perrins, just stopped when it tasted right. used instant potatos for a smoother topping. made a potato gravy mix with the flakes for a thicker mix. ran out of garlic in the house, so added some fresh powdered garlic to the oil. everyone went back for seconds. |

| When you look at the complete calorie count for one serving.....I think the carb count is off. Recipe calls for 4 potatoes. Since it is a four serving dish.....I would avereage each serving to have 1 potatoe. 1 potatoe has more than 8 grams carbs. |
My family and I loved it, the only thing I changed it I smoked the ground beef (great flavour) and added cheese on top while it was baking! :) |
I like this recipe because it's easy to adjust to my liking. In a pinch I've subbed the carrots for parsnips, the potatoes for yams and the worcestershire sauce for soy sauce.. Also I leave out the cream cheese. Always comes out pretty delicious. |

I used ground Deer meat, which I love! Added a bit more garlic & used a roast gravy packet (just half a packet) & mixed it with water. Cooked it down to make a nice rich sauce. Fresh carrots, frozen corn and peas to get more veggies :) |

| The recipes that don't call for pre-made shelf products with added [oops] in them will always have my vote. I can't stand perusing through a recipe and seeing Can Of Soup, carton of Broth, and other off the shelf lazy mixes. I'm not a chef nor a rich snob either - I like simple recipes that taste good is all. |

My husband is a better cook than myself, so I was very pleased when everyone loved it!! I did add 1 1/2 cup water with flour and beef bouillon to make a bit of a gravy. Thanks for sharing this recipe I'm sure it will be a family favorite for years to come. |
