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.

Pretty Good. My first time making and eating a Sheperd's Pie. I thought it would be fun for St. Patty's day. It was yummy but nothing to call home about.

USE BBQ SAUCE INSTEAD OF KETCHUP!!!!! I also added one diced potato too. Yum!

My family and I loved this recipe! It was easy enough to make and had a great taste. I didn't have sour cream. so I substituted low fat plain yogurt. I also added black pepper for some zing. Definitely a keeper!

This was good. I love how easy it is to whip up, and if you use pre-made mashed potatoes would be even easier. Tasty.

This was delicious. I made this for my mother and my boyfriend, they both loved and came back for seconds. I did add some onions and seasoning to the meat, other than that I didn't change a thing. Will make many more times

This was simple and good. I didn't have sour cream so I used milk and butter in the mashed potatoes. Also used gravy mix instead of beef broth, and added some extra seasonings. My husband liked it, took seconds, and ate leftovers, which is rare for him!

Extremely bland. We did not care for this recipe at all. Sorry...
