“Made this for my teen boys and stepdad tonight. All of them loved it. I threw some chopped jalapeños at the beginning when browning the meat. Also seasoned the meat with salt, pepper, onion powder (I didn't have an onion tonight), garlic powder, and minced gar” — a cook, 5.0★
“This was a great recipe (as are all of Chef John's)! I made a few additions and took some tips from other reviewers. First, I wanted it to be a more traditional Shepherd's Pie, so I used ground Lamb instead of beef. I diced 1/4 cup onion and 1/2 cup mushrooms ” — a cook, 5.0★
