“I never made Shepherd's Pie before, although in my case I made Cottage Pie since I used ground beef. I followed your directions exactly, and my cottage pie came out perfectly and it was delicious! Thank you. For anyone else making this for the first time:” — a cook, 5.0★
“This is really good. I left out the ketchup and infused 1/2 & 1/2 until hot with dried thyme instead of milk. I parboiled the diced carrots in the potato water to speed up prep. I grated fresh Parmesan over the top instead of butter.” — a cook, 4.0★
