This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices, like garlic powder and onion powder, and it was much better. I also used a different type of cheese for the béchamel sauce, which made it creamier and more flavorful.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I had to spend a lot of time chopping vegetables and browning the meat. I think I would have preferred a recipe that was a bit simpler and quicker to make.

This Greek Shepherd's Pie was a bit of a disappointment. The potatoes were too crispy, and the meat was a bit dry. I think I would have preferred it if the potatoes were mashed instead of crispy. The sauce was also a bit too thin.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out great. I usually make it with ground lamb instead of beef, and I add a little bit of feta cheese to the top. It's the perfect comfort food for a cold night.
