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.

Wow, this is absolutely delicious! On the advice of a friend, I added an extra few squeezes of ketchup and a few dashes of Worcestershire. (You can tell that I don't do too much measuring!) This was quick and easy and I will most definitely make it again.

I've tried many recipes for Shepherd's Pie and this, by far is the best!!! The potatoes stayed creamy, even the next day when I re-heated the left-overs. I did "cheat" a bit...I used "regular" sour cream and cheddar cheese, rather than reduced fat. I also used corn for the vegetable.

I absolutely loved this recipe, it was so easy and so yummy! My family loves it, especially my picky 15 month old toddler! I hardly ever have leftovers when I make it! I've recommended the recipe to many people whom have all enjoyed it!
