Cottage Pie - Crestwood

What is it?

Single-serve and oven-ready, this frozen meal pairs minced beef in gravy with a topping of creamy mashed potato. It comes as a ready meal rather than a pie with pastry, so the focus stays on the filling and the mash. Beef sits in a savoury sauce beneath the potato layer, which is the defining structure of this kind of dish. Within Aldi's frozen meals range, it sits alongside other straightforward British-style mains rather than sauced pasta or rice dishes. Expect a simple, hearty format: heat through from frozen, then serve from the tray. Mash browns slightly at the edges during oven cooking, and the gravy bubbles up around the sides, giving you a visual cue that it's properly heated through.
