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.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

There is no way the full recipe would fit into my biggest crock so I cut it down to 5 servings. I used mashed potatoes. Can't see how raw shredded would turn out good. The recipe was kinda bland. You need to season the meat just like you would in a real shepherds pie. It was ok, but needs seasoning.

I cut this recipe in half and used hash brown potatoes instead of shredded or mashed. I think I would have preferred the mashed potatoes though for the texture. It's basically like cooking crock pot meatloaf with yummy toppings. Mine was perfectly done in 8 hours on low. To the previous reviewer, you use raw meat. Like I said, it's like making meatloaf. Not sure why your meat wasn't done in 8 hours. Did you plug your crock pot in?

It would have been nice if the author were more clear on some details. One, should the meat be precooked? Well, considering my crockpot has been going on high since yesterday morning to cook all of that meat, the answer is yes. Also, I have a Shepherd's Pie taht is just swimming in beef fat. Precooking would have cured that. That is a huge detail that should have been mentioned. Also, I used fresh shredded potatoes, which the author said to use whatever you desire. Since the meat needed to be cooked the potatoes sat on top and turned black. Only good thing from this waste of a huge amount of meat, it tastes good twenty four hours later. I recommend fully cooking the meat ahead of time for time's sake and saturated fat sake. I also recommend using pre cooked potatoes.
I can't help but wonder if there isn't something wrong with your crockpot? 24 hours on HIGH heat would turn nearly any food item, no matter how dense, into an overcooked block of inedible material. For your food to take that long to cook and be edible sounds like there was something else wrong.
