Cottage Pie

What is it?

Seasoned beef mince sits in a gravy base, with mashed potato spooned over the top. It comes as a frozen ready meal, designed for oven or microwave cooking, so the mash sets on top while the meat stays underneath. Other cottage-style frozen meals in the range usually follow a similar beef-and-gravy core, but this version keeps the format straightforward: minced beef, savoury sauce, and a potato lid. The mash is smooth rather than chunky, and it browns slightly around the edges during oven cooking, giving you a bit of contrast against the softer centre. Portion-wise, it's sized for one, packed in a foil or plastic tray that goes straight from freezer to oven without any prep work.
