This simple version is very good. But bc of a picky roomate I don't put the veggis in it. But inbetween the hamburger and mashed potatos ill but cream of mushroom soup and he seems to eat it well :). My bf on the other had loves it ither way. (About the lamb..don't think I could ever eat it again, so I will prob never make the real shepards pie.) Then just pile the top with tillmunk medium cheedar. Gotta have real cheese yum !

Boil potatoes,mash,add butter and milk,season with salt and pepper.Scramble ground beef with onion.Layer bottom of pan with beef mixture,add 1 can of corn,1 can of sliced carrots and 1 can of peas.Spread mashed potato's over top. Then due decond layer the same way.Take a bisquick mix and make a dough.Roll out and cover top of pie. Bake at 350 for 1 hr.

Wow Vanessa.. you sure did out-do yourself with this recipe. I made 2 pans for dinner, it was all eaten. Delicious! Thanks so much.

I have a similar recipe I use which is always a hit! I use green beans rather than peas. I also add 2 cans of condensed tomato soup and when I'm in a big hurry I cheat and use boxed mashed potatoes....

I LIKE it! SOOOOO simple... Thanks!

Easy recipe but sugar doesn't belong sorry.

THANK YOU... this recipe is GREAT! Don't listen to Neil... I think Neil was having a bad day!

Hi Vanessa,

This is a favorite with not only my kids and their friends, but all my grandkids too. I just make some variations to the receipe-we line our pan with biscuits to the dish form-we omit the peas for those who won't eat them-add brown gravy-and use various types of cheese depending on which group is eating that night. This is a very simple recipe.

I make shepherds pie all different kinds of ways, it is good to put 1 cup of salsa on top of the ground beef before the taters are put on.

Vanessa, I have never had Shepherds Pie until I tried your recipe. If the Brit version is any better I do NOT want to try it as I about hurt myself eating yours! :) Thanks for sharing! Debbie

I really liked each and everyone's comments, I put a bit of water at the bottom of my cooking mixture, and I omitted the sugar. I replaced the sugar with spices. This is a universal type of mixture of food that can be made differently each time you make it. With different types of toppings. Thanks for all of the really good ideas. I did learn something from this recipe. Isn't the internet a nice way that we can exchange thoughts about meals.

Sounds like everything I already have at home. Gonna make this Poor Man's Pie tonight for my husband and bottomless pit step-son for dinner. Thank you for submitting Vanessa

Since when was Shepherds pie made with beef?

My grandmother made a dish she called Shepherd's Pie and all it was is ground beef with mashed potatoes on top of that and then cheese on top of that. We didn't even get any veggies or gravy, but I loved it ;)

Well drama aside lol thanks for posting ! I've been searching google for a little while now trying to find a recipe without beef broth so I didn't have to go to the store. Thanks again :)
