I'm not a fan of raisins in my Shepherd's Pie, so I omitted them from this recipe. I also used ground turkey instead of beef. The dish turned out great and my family loved it!

This recipe is a great base for a delicious Shepherd's Pie. I added some chopped carrots and peas to the ground beef mixture and it turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making this again!

I'm giving this recipe 3 stars. The flavors were good, but the instructions were a bit confusing. I ended up having to make some changes to the recipe in order to get it to turn out right.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder or cayenne pepper next time.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The custard topping was too runny and the ground beef was bland. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This was so good! I'm not usually a fan of Shepherd's Pie, but this recipe changed my mind. The flavors and textures all came together perfectly.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more salt and pepper to taste.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The flavors are amazing and it's really easy to make. I like to serve it with a side of mashed potatoes or rice.

This South African Shepherd's Pie was a hit with my family! The combination of the spiced ground beef, the creamy custard topping, and the crispy onion rings was perfect. Next time I make this I will add some chopped carrots and peas to the ground be
