Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

Very good, and very filling. This recipe has a whole garden of vegetables in it, which I like. I could really taste the allspice, so I will probably cut that in half next time and put a bit more salt and pepper in to season it instead.

This is a wonderful recipe. It's flexible, too - which is sort of the point of a shepherd's pie, I guess. I think the dijon & worcestershire combination gives it exceptional flavor. I like to make it with garlic mashed potatoes, too. Try this recipe. You'll love it.

Good recipe. My friend called it "sheperd's pie nouveau cuisine" because it does not have a bed of potatoes underneath the meat and vegetable mixture. Regardless, we liked it! Thank you for posting it.

This is my husband's favoriteof all the Shepherd's Pie recipes that I've tried. The ingredients list may be intimidating, but the recipe isn't really that hard.

Best Shepards Pie recipe I have found yet. The only complaint is: They list Worcheschire sauce in the ingredients, but what are you suppossed to do with it in the directions?
Add it to the meat mixture, that's the only place that it makes sense to add it.
