recipe reviews for:

Proper English Cottage Pie

“For this savory pie, ground beef, onions, veggies, herbs and spices marry perfectly: Everything is sauteed together and then combined with broth and tomato paste, and simmered until ready to pour into a prepared pie crust. The hearty filling is then topped with fluffy mashed potatoes, sprinkled with Cheddar cheese, and baked.”

My kids loved this! Next time I will double the recipe, because there wasn't much left for my husband when he got home. I didn't use the cinnamon and I cut back a little on the italian spices. Very good.

I lived in England for awhile as an exchange student and my host mother served me cottage pie and hers wasn't as good as this one.

My family & I REALLY enjoyed this! I even mashed some up for my 9-month old son...he loved it! The cinnamon gives everything such a rich, savory taste. I planned on freezing any leftovers, but there were hardly any left!

My whole family loved this. It only took about 30 minutes to cook and was even good for leftovers.

My kids and husband loved the pie. My 3 year old actually took seconds and my son asked me to save some for lunch today. The steps were easy to follow and I was able to get dinner together in an hour.

Great meat pie recipe - the cinnamon was a bit too much.

Excellent. The cinnamon gave it a subtly different flavor and prevented it from tasting like other hamburger pie recipes. Cinnamon and other spices were used frequently in medieval times with meat dishes, and less cinnamon can certainly be used if desired. I used more tomato paste and water, just simmered a little longer. My 8 year old loved it too.

Very tasty. A nice change of pace. I served this to company and everyone came back for seconds. I did omit the cinnamon.

Delicious comfort food, my family loved it. The only change I made to the recipe was I always add garlic to my mashed potatoes and I poured the beef mixture into a pie crust. It's one of our family favorites now.
