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.

I love making this recipe. Instant potatoes will do in a pinch for the top.

Of all the shepherd's pie I ated... This is the BEST one. My husband can't believe what is in the potato part. I use garlic powder instead. I will continue to make this again every year.

Excellent recipe to start with. I read reviews and made changes. I did try instant potatoes but will use real next time. Ground beef seasoned with salt, onions, chopped celery, garlic & pepper then 2 cans green beans, 2 pkgs beef gravy topped with the potatoes & cheese. BIG HIT!

I just made this meal for my family... I used ground turkey instead of ground beef since my husband does not eat red meat... the dish was amazing!!!!

Suggestion - try with ground turkey or chicken. Simply add your fave poultry seasonings. I also add about 1/4 - 1/2 cup (eye it while it's cooking) chicken or vegetable broth when cooking the turkey in order to have more sauce.

Another go-to recipe for me, I've made this time and time again and it's been a great dish! I even made it with ground turkey and turkey gravy, and it still impressed the non-red meat eaters!
