  My partner who is incapable of cooking anything other than beans on toast has cooked this twice with gorgeous Douglas Willis lamb mince and was absolutely delicious! He has proved he is indeed capable of cooking after all!!!

  Cooked this for my fussy ten year old twins and they cleared their plates . I stupidly thought there was not enough potato so cooked more but stick to the recipe quantities as Good Food clearly know best.

  since finding this recipe a couple of years ago, this is now my go to recipe for shephards pie. just a couple of modifications with this recipe though: 1) cook 2 slices of chopped smoked bacon and then carry on with step 1. 2) i have doubled the amount of tomato puree for a stronger flavour. 3) I make up 500 ml beef stock with 2 stock cubes again for a stronger flavour. 4) I added a teaspoon of cornflour with small amount of water and added this with the stock. 5) for the mash, you can add hidden vegetables into this, sometimes i put some cabbage into a food processor and then boil it for a few minutes, i then add this to the potatoes and mash it in. i sometimes also add cheese to the top of pie. i also sometime fry some chopped celery to the onions and carrots for more hidden veg.

  I have just made this to freeze in individual portions so i can take them to work for my dinner whilst i'm on lates. I used all the ingredients but to make it healthier, i added even more veg to bulk it up, reduced the potatoes from 900g to 700g and used extra lean meat and its delicious!!! Easy to make and very healthy if you do what i did. Big portions and low calories! Absolute treat!

  Followed the recipe pretty much exactly and turned out nice. Didn't have any Worcester sauce to hand but still tasted good. Very important to cook the mince/sauce for the full 40 mins

  As a student, this was ideal to make over the weekend and freeze for easy eating during the week - and was seriously tasty! Was no real fuss to make (the only issue being a temperamental oven), especially since I made it with quorn mince and vegetable stock and was still yummy. I also used a tin of baked beans instead of tinned tomatoes (family tradition) and it's definitely worth trying at least once that way.

  I make a veggie version of this using Quorn mince, soy sauce (instead of Worcestershire) and vegetable stock and it's always fantastic. Add peas and parsnips as well. Great basic recipe that's easy to adapt - even to vegetarian!

  Considering how simple this was to make, I will definitely make it again. Tasted amazing and reheats well. I added some grated parmesan I had in the fridge over the top before I put it in the oven, lovely!

  This is definitely one of those dishes that tastes a lot better the next day.. when i first made and tasted it I was bitterly disappointing as it was runny and tasted of watered down tomatoes, but when i reheated it the next day it was a very different story.. Still not the best shepherd's pie I've ever tasted but tasty non-the-less.
