Made this for Christmas Eve dinner. I doubled the recipe, and also ended up using 5 lbs of russet potatoes for the mashed potatoes and found it made enough to have a pretty thick creamy layer of mashed potatoes on top. The kids loved it. Substituted the lamb for 90% lean ground beef since we aren't fans of lamb-y flavor. Threw in about half a can of the tomato paste and about 3 tsp of Worcestershire sauce. I think we should have put in more Worcestershire sauce, and more than the doubled amount of fresh rosemary and thyme to bring out the flavors more. We didn't follow the salt and pepper measurements- we just used them according to taste. I used a whole bag of frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, lima beans, and cut beans and it was delicious. Although this recipe does take some time to make, it's definitely worth it for big dinners with children in attendance who are picky eaters.

Absolutely fantastic. I had left over Perogi filling and used that so my mash on top had a bit of sharp cheddar in it (which was also very good. I did change the chicken to beef stock and I used 1lb of beef and 1/2lb of lamb because, well, not all in the house love the distinct flavor of lamb.

The Perogi recipe is also from here called Helen's Perogies.

This was excellent!! It really took no time at all and was perfect with my left over chuck roast instead of the lamb! Great recipe - will definately make again as my family loved it!

I am currently cooking this recipe for the second time as I enjoyed it so much initially. First time I'd tried to make shepherd's pie, and I think it is an easy to follow recipe with a lot of great flavor. My significant other hates lamb which I think would taste amazing, so I had to use ground beef, but it still turned out to be delicious. For the one in the oven now, I added some cheese to the mashed potatoes. The fresh herbs make a HUGE difference - my local Wegman's was out of them and I can tell the difference of having to use dried this time already :(

It was good, but I've made one from Rachael Ray that was better.

I love lamb (beef is just no substitute, so the only thing I substituted was cut green beans instead of peas. I love them, but my family thinks peas are "little green balls of nastiness". I also sprinkled a little cheddar cheese on top. My knife skills need some work, so this took significantly longer than 45 minutes to prep, but it was totally work it!

excellent!!!! First time I have ever made or even eaten shepards pie. Not even sure where the motivation came from. I used ground turkey and beef instead of the lamb. I also added squash to the mix, and splashed some white wine once all the veggies were cooked. Kids tore it up.....excuse me while I go get seconds!!!!

Yummy!! This recipe is fantastic! I had to stop myself from eating all of the filling before I finally got it in the oven! I used beef instead of lamb and it was still fantastic! I followed the recipe for the most part but I just love bold flavors so i added more tomato paste and worchestershire to taste. even the picky eaters will be coming back for more

Delicious! I made mine with ground turkey and it came out great. I also happened to top this with Ina's basil mashed potatoes recipe because I had some leftover, still mixing in the egg yolk like Alton did, and the combo was so tasty!
