Sweet Potato Cottage Pie

What is it?

Seasoned beef mince sits in a gravy-like sauce under a layer of smooth sweet potato mash, baked until the top takes on a light caramelised finish. The filling uses familiar cottage pie ground, with beef, sauce, and a mash topping, but swaps regular potato for sweet potato, which brings a deeper colour and a faint natural sweetness. In Woolworths’ frozen meal range, it follows the same bake-and-heat format as the classic cottage pie, just with that orange topping instead of plain mash. It’s portioned as a single-serve meal and cooks in the oven or microwave, depending on the pack instructions.
