This cottage pie serves four people and is cooked in 30 minutes. Each portion is under 600 calories.
You can prepare this comforting dinner ahead of time and then put it in the oven 30 minutes before you need to serve. For freezing instructions, scroll down to read our cottage pie tips. We like to have steamed vegetables on the side to keep it healthy but a salad, roast carrots, or even a slice of garlic bread are tasty alternatives.
Once you’ve mastered this cheap family meal, you should try our Shepherd's pie recipe. If you want the same flavours but a little lighter in calories, the Slimming World cottage pie recipe is perfect.
