If you have an 8-inch dutch oven, use about 1/2 of the ingredient amounts but keep the temperature and time about the same.
If no temperature is listed, use 350 degrees.

Excellent recipe! I played around with the spices a bit and used thyme, sage, rosemary and some cayenne. And plenty of garlic in the potatoes. In place of the frozen vegetables, I used some home grown broccoli, tomatoes,   asparagus and onions. The results were spectacular!

Good recipe, Dutch ... my only recommendation would be more veggies and cheese! Taco seasoning is also a good meat seasoning. Another cool twist on this recipe is to layer the browned meat and veggies with biscuits instead of mashed taters. Layer refrigerated (not frozen) biscuits on top of the browned meat and veggies, bake at 375F for about 30 minutes, take out of the oven, layer on the cheese then broil for about 12 minutes or so to brown the cheese and biscuits.

Shepherd's Pie is made with lamb/mutton. This is a Cottage Pie recipe. Delicious nonetheless.
