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 recipe was a hit with my family! I had to alter a little with the ingredients I had on hand. I increased the meat to 2lbs. as my family are big meat eaters. instead of frozen mixed vegetables I used 2 cans of drained green beans and 1 small bag of frozen sweet corn thawed. It turned out great and my family loved it!

This recipe is awesome. I added cream cheese & beef broth to the mashed potatoes, and extra ketchup and Worcestershire sauce to the meat added extra flavor. Also I made a gravy to pour over, consisting of beef broth, flour, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and garlic powder. It was over the top! Glad I doubled the recipe so we have enough for leftovers! With a few tweaks to the recipe, it is our new favorite!

This was a very very delicious & easy recipe! I kinda changed a few things, I used canned veggies & instant potatoes instead of fresh. But I love it! I will definitely make it again! (and my husband loved it A++++)

good starter recipe. though it needs a lot of work, i added more garlic, and other spices, to make it tastier, seemed blah reading it with out spices. i added honey bbq instead of ketchup and it gave it a good kick. though next time im not using broth, too runny, i will use cream of mushroom soup, like i do with tater tot casserole.

best Shepherd's Pie I've ever made! My family isn't into mixed veggies, so I just used corn and it was a hit! My husband doesn't like sour cream and he LOVED this (still doesn't know about the sour cream!) :)

SO good! Used Bob Evans potatoes to save time, and skipped the cheese for calories reason. But SO GOOD!!!

This dish was very good, however, it could use a few spices.

I made this recipe around St. Patrick's Day and it was delicious. It was my kind of recipe in that it was very easy and tasty at the same time. I made it exactly like it said this time, but I think I may substitute ground turkey next time to save some calories. Very good!!
