I thought this recipe was just okay. The filling was a bit bland and the polenta crust was too dry.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I'll use less chili powder next time.

I'm not a fan of polenta, so I used mashed potatoes for the crust. It turned out great!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my polenta crust didn't turn out crispy. I'm going to try again next time.

This vegetarian shepherd's pie was a hit with my family! The polenta crust was a nice change from the traditional mashed potato crust. The filling was hearty and flavorful, and the cheese topping was the perfect finishing touch.
