    Used spicy ground venison, nixed bottom layer of pots, only used 1 tablespoon butter on top of potatoes and it was tasty! Wasn't dry at all. Will leave out cottage cheese next time, it didn't do anything technical nor taste wise. - 2/21/13

    Very tasty!! I used canned salmon in place of the beef and added extra onions as well. My fam loved it! Also, I didn't have cottage cheese so I added a bit of hard parmesan on top of the potatoes. Nice!! Oh, also I made it ahead and just warmed it up when dinner time came around. - 7/30/08

    My husband absolutely loved it. I used instant mashed potatoes on the top only and it was great! I put in a little extra FF cottage cheese and used a little FF sour cream on my serving. A perfect way to get my spinach! - 7/22/08
