This was very good. I liked that there are no dairy products since I'm lactose intolerant. I fell in love with Shepard's Pie as a kid and now I make it at home. Perfect!!

3 Stars, I loved it. I had a very small serving along side some steamed broccoli and cauliflower and it's very filling. Hearty, homey and satisfying. It's very easy to put together and doesn't take an experienced chef and the directions are concise and easy to follow and no adjustments need to be made to the times given. Don't be afraid to add that dash of cayenne at the end, it adds the finishing touch.
