Loved the taste too, and made the top with half kumara and half potato. Yum. - 23 Feb 2015
Loved the taste, but I added more herbs and same chilli powder to it. - 16 Aug 2012
Altered ingredient amounts. Delicious! I used only sweet potatoes and it tasted great! I used a tiny bit more mustard and it gave it just the right kick for us. After letting everything simmer I drained the fat off the meat mixture which I felt was helpful. Also we topped it with mature cheddar cheese. It was so good! Will definitely be making this one again. - 14 Jan 2011 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
