Review of Bremer's Shepherd's Pie
True to my word, I'm going to share the results of scarfing down Bremer's, another Canadian product.
I was pretty sure this was going to top Cattlemen's Ranch Shepherd's Pie as I'd predicted in my review of it, and my son said he wanted more when we were at Aldi, so I picked up 2 for $5.99 each (which is about right for a family of three). Since it's frozen, it takes almost an hour to bake, but I was really looking forward to it!
My kids and I dug into it, but my son and I were quick to note that it didn't taste the way it had the first time. My daughter thought it was better than CR's, but we disagreed. It certainly had more meat, but the sauce was even less distinctive than CR's. While we ate it all, my son and I felt disappointed - now I wonder if it wasn't Bremer's at all that first time...Sigh! Whereas CR has more potatoes, this has more meat, and it didn't seem to have as many veggies. Both have the same piped mashed potatoes on top although it's not visible in the cutaway image.
I guess the search for the perfect shepherd's pie will have to continue at a later date!
