I'm allergic to dairy, so I made these pies with almond milk and vegan butter. They turned out great! The mashed potatoes were creamy and flavorful, and the lamb filling was just as delicious as the original recipe. Highly recommend for anyone with d

These shepherd's pies were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt in the recipe next time. Otherwise, they were delicious and I loved the individual serving sizes.

I'm not a big fan of lamb, so I tried these pies with ground beef instead. They turned out surprisingly well! The beef was flavorful and juicy, and it paired perfectly with the creamy mashed potatoes. I'll definitely be making these again with beef.

I found this recipe to be a bit too time-consuming for a weeknight meal. The preparation and cooking took me over an hour, which was longer than I had anticipated. The end result was good, but I think I'll look for a quicker recipe next time.

These shepherd's pies were a bit of a disappointment. The lamb filling was dry and lacked flavor, and the mashed potato topping was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I just need to try a different recipe.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made these pies with lentils instead of lamb. They turned out fantastic! The lentils were hearty and flavorful, and the mashed potato topping was perfectly creamy. I served them with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a co
