23 Cottage Pie

The cottage pie was on the very first NHS menu in 1948 and is not likely to come off the menu any time soon. It’s a favourite of an older generation but its appeal is not lost on the younger, either. The combination of a rich beef mince topped with a creamy mashed potato can also be nutrient dense.

A traditional working class dish that has been elevated over the years to a household staple. It’s a one-pot dish containing potatoes, vegetables and beef mince.
