Simple Cottage Pie Recipe (only 0.96 per serving)

Perfect food for todays weather. Hope Isla had share of some Proper Staple Food😊 I am Old School, was thought this at home and at School Cookery Classes. These definitions NEED to be brought back for ALL pupils.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I agree baking and cooking is a basic life skill and should be part of everyone's education......It certainly will be for Isla. Thanks a lot.

Loved your video & thank you very much.

[@susanbetts761]

I definitely agree with putting a bit of veg in for flavour and nutrition. That’s a lovely simple recipe; Worcester sauce is a good idea.

[@BakingOnABudget]

yes the Worcester sauce gives it a bit more tang. Thanks.

I grew up on this, as did my kids and now our grandchildren. A nice crusty cob mmmmmmmm

[@BakingOnABudget]

Yes a classic recipe and great with some fresh bread. Thanks.

[@NA-lz3rb]

My wife uses cheap mince,onion,bayleaf,oregano,marjoram,a tin of baked beans to bulk it up,stock cube,onion and then potato on top. It does for at least four meals for two.

[@BakingOnABudget]

Sounds good and a real filling and inexpensive meal. Thanks.

I prefer the way these videos add up the actual cost of ingredients used. I'm in the US, so pounds don't mean as much to me, but it gives me a rough idea. Also, the food is always simple and delicious. And I liked the granddaughter babbling in the background.

I truly think this channel is amazing. So many of us are going through tough times at the moment with inflation hitting hard. These budget recipes must be so helpful to people on a low income, but to be fair even though we escaped the poverty cycle I would still make these regardless! Thanks again ❤

Oh, this looks good. I am making this for dinner. I add a tiny pinch of freshley grated nutmeg to my mashed potato. You are truly inspiring, I really enjoy your videos. Warm wishes from South Africa.

Many thanks.....I also put a little nutmeg in the mash when I'm making it with a chicken or meat dish it really lifts the flavour.

Good evening, Dave. Even though I've made cottage pie numerous times, I still watched your take on it as I love your channel. I make mine near enough the same as your recipe. I think Isla was getting impatient waiting for some herself😂

Hey there, I love your channel and you inspire me to try cooking some things I otherwise would not have. Please may I ask (sorry if this has been asked before)... do you keep your vegetable peelings and offcuts (for example the ends of the onion), and maybe chicken or other bones, to boil up later and make liquid stock?

I've never tried making stock....but it's a good idea and I'll give it a go. Thanks. And great to hear you are trying the recipes.

The cheapest I could find 93% Ground beef in the USA is $6.62 per pound, 14 OZ is $5.72 Onion - $0.41 Carrot - $0.15 Celery - $0.16 Peas - $0.32 Buying tomato paste in a tube cost 5 times more than buying it in a can so I would use an oz. and freeze the rest at $0.12. Beef cube - $0.14 Worcester sauce - $0.06(Lea & Perrins was 4 times more expense) Potato - $0.10 Butter - $0.15 Cream - $0.30 Which adds up to $7.63/4 or about $1.91 per serving US or 1.46 pounds. Interesting how much cheaper food is in the UK.

[@BakingOnABudget]

Yes a few people have said how much more expensive basic food is in the USA and Canada. I always thought the UK was expensive but it appears not so much. Thanks.

you can add tomato and worcester sauce during frying so they caramelise a bit
