Cottage Pie and stir fried Veg

Cottage Pie and stir fried Veg

After yesterday’s Cottage Pie-Pie we had a good amount of Cottage Pie filling left, but no “Cottage” on it. Mashed Spud as most would call it….

So the second meal out of a 500g pack of mince from the reductions fridge at £2 with some mashed Potatoes and grated Cheese over the top made a pretty good Cottage Pie. A bit of stir fried Veg and we’re all fuelled up!

Cottage Pie is a regular gig here if we have a bit of mince. Our general recipe is here, but play with it and be inventive. Just don’t slice Kiwi fruit over the top!
