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.

This was my first try at Shepherds Pie. My husband loved it. Relatively easy to make.

I am a big lover of shephard's pie but my kids do not particularly like mashed potatoes so instead I made it with yellow rice and mixed some mushroom gravy into the hamburger and they gobbled it up!

This recipe was very bland and I thought it would have a saucier consistency. My husband and I had to add lots of salt and pepper just to eat it! I will only use 2 cups of veggies and maybe add some BBQ sauce to the meat mixture. I will say that the potatoes turned out quite tasty.

This was really good! I love the tang that the sour cream added. We used a mashed potato mix that was low-calorie but it was just as good and made it even easier.
