Classic Cottage Pie With Cheesy Mash
Take this cosy classic to new heights with three of your 5-a-day. You’ll simmer beef mince in a rich stock, then top with deliciously cheesy mash for extra umami. Dish up with green peas and thank us later.
You supply: water, sugar, pepper, salt, butter, olive oil. The figures below are for the dish cooked as instructed, so they count these rather than what arrives in the box.

Tell me when Classic Cottage Pie With Cheesy Mash changes
Recipes get reformulated and portions shrink without an announcement. We read this page every week anyway.
Every figure above is read from what the brand publishes, and brands change their pages without telling us. If something here does not match this meal as it is sold today, we would rather hear it than print it.
