Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

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.
