This recipe is fantastic, the rosemary and thyme combo is the key, also it is best with lamb! I only mention the lamb, because you will probably be thinking "oh its fine if I use ground beef, its not a big deal." Well guess what IT IS, take it from me I've done it both ways and lamb is far superior!

I frequently make this dairy free for the milk allergy people in my life and to tell you the truth I prefer it that way!

I couldn't get ground lamb, so I just diced up lamb off the bone in nice small-sized bite chunks. Also, I didn't cook the lamb through on the skillet so it could finish in the oven and maintain great moisture and texture. I subbed Yukon gold potatoes and made garlic mashers for the top to add a great extra kick. Great recipe, really enjoyed the peas and corn, which aren't always standard. I have some pictures and my differences in the recipe posted on my blog which you can find through my profile name. Great recipe Alton!

I followed the recipe almost to the letter: I only had 1 lb of lamb on hand, so I substituted ground beef for the remaining half pound. Aside from that, I made it as it is written. It was outstanding! It got great reviews at the table and the leftovers disappeared quickly from the fridge. Really a very good recipe.

I used Alton's recipe just as shown except I substituted Yukon Gold potatoes instead. It made the topping about as creamy as you can get and was the hit of our St. Paddy's Day party. I have already been asked to pass it on!

BF doesn't like lamb so made this with 90% lean ground beef. very yummy! the fresh thyme is important. did not use any rosemary - i find it overpowers everything. used a little more than 1.5 lbs meat, and used 1.5 cups chicken broth, added about 1/4 cup red wine, and probably 2 tsp worcestshire (sp i know sauce. also did not add an egg to the mashed potatoes as wasn't sure if i was making too much and wanted to eat them if i made too much. used 4 medium and 1 small russets, and it turned out the perfect amount! don't think i missed the egg in the mash. used "fresh" english peas (in the salad section of trader joes and wish i had blanched them before putting in at end. they mostly cooked in the broth, but some were kinda hard. anyway it was a delish dinner that we are looking forward to reheated tonight!

Really easy to make. Clear directions. I would not sub the lamb with any other meat. This was really good and my husband (picky-picky like it too.

Excellent recipe. I love that it sticks to the traditional Shepherd's Pie that we all know and crave. I made it with beef: 75% meat that I cubed real small and 25% ground beef. I didn't have Worcestershire sauce, so I used a splash of soy sauce and for herbs I used dried thyme and oregano. Oh delish!

This recipe is just amazing and easy! I did add a little more whipping cream to the potatoes, maybe 1/4 cup more, a couple extra dashes or the worsh sauce to the meat mix just to add a little more flave : I will definately make this again!!!
