The recipe I usually use has thyme, rosemary, worcestershire sauce, and beef broth mixed in there, which makes for some nice flavours. It's still nothing strong, and it benefits from having a bit of ketchup or a relish to spice things up a bit, but it's flavourful enough to be enjoyable, in my books.

And I'm completely agreeing with that: shepherd's pie was my favorite food for a couple years when I was 5ish. It's not a bad food...and there are ways to add some flavor. Also I'm from Minnesota: tator tot hotdish is (for some reason) our thing, and that could be viewed as more or less the Americanized version of shepherd's pie. With processed tator tots, yes.

It's just: if a meat & potato casserole is the example that springs to mind when thinking of a non-bland food... *shrug emoji*

Most Minnesotans like bland stuff, so I'm used to it around here.
