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.

My family enjoed this recipe, but, we felt that it was kind of bland. I would add some garlic salt, pepper and more cheese the next time. A good easy meal for a cold winter day.

Needs a little more spice, but otherwise was very good and well received by my family. Easy, too!

This is excellent!! Took the quick way out as suggested by an earlier rater and used instant mashed potatoes...did mix cheese and sour cream into the potatoes as directed in recipe. Turned out great with alot less time commitment. My husband couldn't stop himself and had seconds.

This was my first Shepherd's Pie, it was very good. To save on time I used instant garlic mashed potatoes. I will be making this again and again for my family.

Wow, this was an easy recipe to make. I used Italian Pork Sausage instead of ground beef. I loved it! I used 4 cloves of garlic and a little more cheese, turned out great.

Very good - added bell peppers (all colors) and onions to the meat. To spice it up, add crushed red peppers.

Very easy to make. I used 1/2 bag of frozen corn and 1/2 bag of frozen peas and carrots mixed and the peas slightly overwhelmed all other flavors. Also needs a little salt.
