Sooooooo good. It was the first time I had ever really *cooked* for my family and everyone loved it. I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, so I used peas instead, fresh marjoram rather than dried (just doubled the amount), and two pounds of russet potatoes. The final product was savoury and flavourful and juicy. I highly recommend it.

Really yummy, but really heavy. I mixed 2 sweet potatoes with 2 russet to make it slightly healthier and I think the sweet potato went really well with the nuttiness of the seasoning.

This is a simple and delicious one-dish meal. It is a great way to get young children to eat their veggies. I substituted ground turkey and added a splash of Worcestershire for extra flavor. For the peas, I used a bag of seasoned frozen peas with mushrooms, which also added a lot of flavor. Added in some carrots for extra vitamins and all set.

Superb basic recipe that leaves lots of room for customization. I will use this recipe again, but I look forward to adding my own spin such as more meat, gravy, etc.

Very Tastey and Easy!! I did make some changes to the recipe. Trying to get my family to eat veggies is hard, so I added a can of corn. I used canned veggies because that's what I had. 2 cans of peas and 1 corn. Also added Sharp cheddar cheese to the top of the potatoes then added the extra butter on top as the last step. It made this delightful cheese crust. To Die for!! So simple and good.

Delicious! Another favorite for my family! Really easy to make and you could even prepare most of it ahead and pop in the oven for a bit longer to warm up.

Great! I used frozen mixed vegetables instead of green peas and added canned tomato soup to the beef because it seemed dry. Easy, straightforward comfort food.

Wonderful cottage pie, reminds me of the meals I had in my British school's canteen. I followed the recipe for everything except the green peas coz I do not have them on hand. I use a bigger onion instead. I forgot to dot extra butter on top, but it still came out crisp with adequately brown. Next time, I will try other's suggestion of using some ketchup to make the source. My kids love it and it's definitely a keeper.

This was easy & tastey. The only thing I changed was the sugar&ketchup sauce went on the top. The leftovers made for awesome sandwiches the next day. Thanks!
