My husband and I loved this pie. It is absolutely delicious. I did use half of the cinnamon as suggested.

We just made this recipe for st. patrick's day, and it was fabulous. We really loved the different flavors. However, the other reviewers were correct - if you want traditional sheperds pie, this is not for you. It goes really well with soda bread and green beer:

We made this for dinner the other night, it was delicious. It doesn't require an expensive cut of meat. I used a piece of lamb and minced and also the cheap bottom round pieces. The meat was very tender. We also used six chopped carrots; we like carrots. I do agree that the cinnamon could have been cut in half, but it didn't make the recipe inedible. Also, we didn't spread the potatoes to the edge of the pan. They were put on in dallops with open space between, sort of dumpling style. This helped the potatoes absorb some of the pie liquid and also allowed the liquid to cook off in the oven. It was really enjoyable and even better reheated in the oven the next day.

I thought I'd give this one a try since it seemed more "gourmet" than traditional. All the cheese on the top didn't allow the potatoes to crisp up like we're used to. It was very tasty, but I think we like traditional better. There were a lot of flavors going on in this one. If you like that, then this recipe is for you!

My husband is a Brit and thinks this recipe is even better than what he had at home! Very rich and satisfying and tastes fantastic as leftovers.

I had to cater the recipe to ingredients I had on-hand (ground beef/pork instead of lamb, but we loved it and I will definitely make this recipe again. I might even try it the way it's supposed to be made. :

Great man-food texture, but the cinnamon overpowers everything else, making it taste like pumpkin pie with beef. In no way could I puree 2 lbs of potatoes with 2 Tbsps butter...I used 6 along with 2 Tbsps sour cream. Expensive to make. I try to follow all of these recipes to the letter, but this one could do without any cinnamon whatsoever.

This receipe was outstanding. The process of leaving the liquid out of the potatoes was perfect since the liquid in the beef mixture made them very creamy after oven cooking.
This receipe is way better than any with ground beef. Just make sure you use chuck roast and cube the pieces small. I might add just a touch of worceshire sauce next time.

I made this after watching Michael prepare it on his show. While my husband and I liked it very much, according to my teenage son, it is 'ridiculously delicious'. The only thing I did differently was to add a little hot milk to the potatoes when mashing them. This recipe is a definite keeper.
