I usually only eat Shepherd's Pie when it's on the menu at a restaurant, but this version is so quick and easy that I could make it at home. This is comfort food, and would definitely be welcome on the dinner table. When making this, I would use lean ground beef and Healthy Request cream of mushroom soup. Instead of using mashed potato flakes, I would make my own mashed potatoes.

Oh my word does this look delicious! Nothing screams comfort food like Shepherd's Pie. This recipe sound very similar to the one I grew up eating. I'm wondering if you could substitute any kind of cream soup instead of cream of mushroom? I'm just not the biggest fan of mushrooms. Maybe a cream of cheddar? Something I like to do with my Shepherd's Pie is to sprinkle a tiny bit of parmesan cheese on top of the potatoes. It gives the toppings a little bit of crunch. So good.

Ah shepherd's Pie. One of my favorite comfort foods. I love the simplicity of this recipe and the combination of flavors. It truly is fast, and the end result is a rich hardy meal. I like serving this with some crusty Italian bread, on a wintry night, it's perfect. You will love the convenience and ease of this recipe.

I took 2 of these to a potluck and there were no leftovers! People always seem to go for the comfort food at a potluck. Sometimes I just don't have time to make my own white sauce or mashed potatoes from scratch, so this shepherd's pie is going to be on my menu rotation. After we came home, my family said they wished we had some more of that shepherd's pie for ourselves!

The creamed corn was a great idea. I use a "golden" or "Beefy" mushroom soup to give the dish more flavor. Also, I use "Mixed" vegetables (canned, frozen, or fresh -- whatever I have on hand) to make a great pie. Play a little "mix and match" to get the same quick and easy meal but different pies; e.g., sausage, ground turkey etc.

I do not use any soup, I also use creamed corn for the vegetable, I use Idahoan instant baby reds potatoes . Cook hamburger and onion until meat is cooked .dDrain

I'd rather take the extra prep time and have some more natural ingredients in the dish.
