Be sure to put extra pepper in the mash and in the meat mixture!! Seasoned properly, this is a simple tasty dish that kids and spouse will appreciate.

This was really good. I think I'd add a bit more butter when mashing the potato next time. I also think the meat might have been great with a little chilli. Very very good the way it is, but I think I'd do one or both of the above next time I make it. Thanks for sharing!

It was really good but I thought it was going to be a lot better than that.
