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.

LOVED THIS RECEIPE. My husband ate 3 helpings the 1st night and then we had it for left overs the next day. I added more sour cream and cheese to the potatoes than it called for to make them a little more flavorful and creamier (I also added salt to them). My 7 year old son begged for seconds!

This recipe did not go over so well with our family. I would suggest using canned veggies instead of frozen. We will not be making this again.

I have made this recipe two times. I didn't change anything, it was delicious just the way it is.

easy to make. could possibly be made ahead of time... I had to put the ingredients in a 10x 13 dish, even better leftover.

We loved this recipe. It was so easy to make. Instead of the garlic cloves i just used some garlic powder and it gave it just enough of a garlic taste. This was an easy meal and one I'll definitely make when we have company over.

We loved it!I used fresh carrots, onions & mushrooms and sauteed them first. I also added worchester sauce. Didn't add the broth or flour, it was still juicy. I doubled the recipe except the veggies. Thanks Kraft, I'll definately make this again!

Very easy to make, and overall pretty good. The garlic taste was too powerful for me. I put the garlic cloves in the potatos as directed. Maybe I will use less next time!

i made this using ground turkey meat...added onions and fresh chopped mushrooms along with a few splashes of worsestshire sauce and salt and pepper to season the meat. made the potatoes with low fat milk, fat free sour cream, and garlic and added fat free cheddar at the end. my husbands mom always made shepherds pie with one can of reg corn and one can of creamed, so i stuck to that. it tasted wonderful and he said although it was different from him moms, he liked it a lot!! good to know you can sub in fat free ingredients and turkey meat and it still tastes good :)
