  1. How is this an Amy’s Shepherd’s Pie “copycat” if it has beef and beef broth? Amy’s products are all vegetarian at the very least.

    1. You are correct. I’m a vegetarian, and love Amy’s! This is our version and we happened to include meat!

  2. Would this work if I made it in a disposable baking pan and froze it? I need to make a meal for new parents who want freezer meals to reheat. If I did a whole batch, would it reheat well in the oven?

    1. Of course! The freezing containers are our best recommendations but you can freeze how you like. Personally, I do a lot of freezing in glass. If you have more questions, feel free to pop into chat in the bottom right-hand corner!

  3. Amy’s is vegetarian and has a unique flavour I was hoping to find the secret ingredients to instead you post a basic shepherds pie recipe – very disappointing!! You need to change the title and remove the photo!

  4. Thank you for posting this. It is very helpful. So sorry to see people bashing your effort in the comments. Seems to me vegetarian dish would be a pretty obvious change. I guess some people aren’t bright enough to make it vegetarian on their own. Take out the meat, use vegetable broth. I thought this was common sense, but I guess some folks must read and obey. No room for using our brains these days…
