Cottage Pie

Delicious, I don't know if others used a cheap beef stock, forgot the bay leaves or didn't use enough Worcestershire but I made as per the recipe and it was sensational! I always use the best quality stock for all my recipes and it makes a huge difference. Only addition i did was add two diced tomatoes. Kids loved it too. Hubby and son had BBQ sauce on top, I had horseradish, daughter didn't have sauce. It was lovely with or without sauce.

Really good base recipe for cottage pie, but made exactly as the recipe states it is SO BLAND. So add LOTS of spices! The few it calls for are woefully inadequate. I added lots of everything - garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, parsley, cayenne, black pepper, some Cajun seasoning and even a little bit of ground mustard and it turned out beautifully. I also spiced up the potatoes.

Used a brown gravy packet for the sauce, fresh carrots, celery, & onion. Didn’t have peas or corn and those would be better in it. Added a can of crushed tomatoes + juice as well. It was super tasty and the kid scarfed it down and requested again!

Add some more spices! It was good other than that
