These mini pies are ideal for nibbling at holiday parties. If ground beef isn't your preference, change up the flavor with ground lamb and a teaspoon of dried rosemary instead. -Suzanne Banfield, Basking Ridge, New Jersey

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pies turned out soggy and bland. I guess I'll have to try again.

These pies were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added some more herbs and spices.

I'm not a big fan of shepherd's pie, but these miniature versions were surprisingly good! The individual servings were perfect and the crust was flaky and golden brown.

I tried making these pies last night and they turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more salt and pepper to the filling.
