This was good, but not great. My husband wanted a little something more to it. I would probably make it again but maybe tweak it somehow. Thanks for the recipe though and the opportunity to try something you created. So cool!! I also used instant potatoes. Added some salsa to the meat to avoid having to cut up onions.

    We ate the whole thing for lunch. Guess we own't be having much dinner. This is awesome. So much flavor, so easy to make. I divided prep in half because I've been too sick to cook. As a result, the meat mixture sat overnight in the fridge. I wonder if this helped meld the flavors even more as that seems to be the case with these kinds of spices. I used instant mashed potatoes the next night....no problem at all. In addition, I cooked the onion with the ground beef, eliminating 1T. of fat and a step in prep. It's the only Shepard's Pie I've ever wanted second helpings on.

    It was very easy to make and tasted very good. I used extra lean beef and more onions than the recipe called for and it was really good. It's not very spicy so next time I will add some extra hot sauce.
