This shepherd's pie was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I'll look for a simpler recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the shepherd's pie turned out perfect. The beef and bacon filling was moist and flavorful and the mashed potato topping was creamy and cheesy. I highly recommend this recipe.

This shepherd's pie was easy to make and turned out delicious. The only thing I would change is to use a different type of cheese for the mashed potato topping. I used cheddar cheese and it was a bit too sharp for my taste.

This shepherd's pie was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more herbs and spices next time.

I'm not a fan of beef, so I used ground turkey in this recipe. It turned out really well! The turkey was flavorful and the shepherd's pie was still very satisfying.

I made this shepherd's pie in a slow cooker and it turned out great! The beef and bacon filling was fall-apart tender and the mashed potato topping was creamy and cheesy. I will definitely be making this again.

This shepherd's pie was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.
