Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Leave aluminum pans behind! New Chinet Bakeware® baking pans help simplify meal planning. Just prepare and serve this comfort-food classic recipe in an 8x8-inch Chinet Bakeware® pan. Any leftovers? Just cool in the pan, then snap on the lid and refrigerate up to 2 days. When ready to serve, remove the lid and reheat them in the microwave. Chinet Bakeware® baking pans are versatile so you can take your dish from oven to refrigerator to microwave all in the same pan.

Makeover - How We Did It

We took a classic recipe and gave it a makeover by replacing the butter in the mashed potatoes with both BREAKSTONE'S Reduced Fat or KNUDSEN Light Sour Cream and KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Cheddar for great taste and a creamy texture. In addition, we used extra-lean ground beef instead of regular ground beef. These small changes resulted in a savings of 90 calories and 15g of fat per serving.

Substitute

Substitute 1 cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Low Fat Cottage Cheese for the sour cream. Blend the cottage cheese in a blender until smooth before using as directed.

I think next time I'll leave out the ketchup and use tomato paste or sauce instead it was a little sweet to me, And probably add hot pepper flakes too. But it was great as is too.

Easy and very taste meal. I would like to make it again and substitute the ketchup with A1 or BBQ sauce.

I love the idea of adding worchestershire sauce to the meat adds great flavor. Didn't have any beef broth so I just added beef bulluons in a coffee cup of water. Added about 3-4 of those bulluons. Also I added my own seasoning to this, like salt, pepper, basil etc. Was very good!!

This was a great way to use up veggies, both frozen and fresh. I used a little Worchestershire sauce for some added flavor.

BUT? Did you ever hear of a Shepherd herding "COWS"? A TRUE "Shepherd's Pie" is made with LAMB?

I've made this recipe at least a dozen time, a big hit at our house. I usually double the recipe and put it in a 9x13" Pan. I also use a little more meat. I also put it on a cookie sheet to bake because it can bubble over. I also salt and pepper the meat when I'm browning it. Enjoy, we do!!

This recipe was a hit with me and the fiance. The teenager didn't like it much. I added salt and pepper to give it more flavor. I had no issues with it being runny like other posters have said. I used canned corn and greenbeans and cooked some carrots. I have been requested to make this meal once a week.
