TESCO Vs ASDA Smart Price Cottage Pie | Comparison | Food Review

[@djohn1671]

i make cottage pie once a month, instead of using a packet of 'mixture' to create the sauce i use a can of oxtail soup with two oxo beef cubes added to thicken it up, it gives the sauce a lovely rich beef taste.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

good tip 👌

[@oldfatbastad6053]

oo, theres and idea 👍

[@happyfeet4506]

Brilliant cooking tip I'm going to give that a try

[@toniswift6058]

That sounds delicious and what I call comfort food on a cold night. Yum! X

[@djohn1671]

@@happyfeet4506 fry the mince & onion as normal, then add it to a saucepan with the oxtail soup and add the beef stock cubes (and few splashes of Worcester sauce if you enjoy it) crushed to thicken it up. Add to a oblong oven dish (or individual dishes), allow to cool for 5 mins, then add the mashed potatoes and cook for 1/2 hour on 180° (I put it under the grill to brown the top first). Hope you enjoy.

[@andrewspires2730]

What I like about these is you can just put some baked beans with them, and you have a good hearty meal on a budget. We'll done Gareth

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

cheers Andrew good idea. 👍

[@xvsupremacy7190]

Tesco and One Stop are the same Firm , tbh Tesco and One Stop meals are Superior. So much so I am willing to pay that little bit extra. You are getting M & S Quality at a cheaper price . It’s Tesco/One Stop mead for me.

[@lennydicko]

Yummy 🤤

[@dtoora]

Never thought of that, i love beans, gna try it out

[@brianterry8317]

I love beans with them with a big dollop of tommy sauce on the side CAAAAWWWWWRRRRGH

I used to buy cottage pies and lasagna from Iceland for a quid! Not sure if they still make them but they were a bit bigger, and totally spot on!! I bought a couple of boxes of "shelf stable" ready meals from a company called"Parsley Box" .... 10 different meals for £20. Best thing is they need no refrigeration!! And last about a year! Apocalypse food!!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

haha cheers

Quick foodies, get to ASDA and hoover up all this wrongly priced Cottage Pies before ASDA realise they're priced the wrong way round! Superb review Gareth, I sometimes have the ASDA one if I working late with some microwave brussel sprouts. I haven't tried the other two, however; strange pricing, no doubt after your review, they'll be wanting to fix that! Cheers pal.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Yes I been told why the smart price was fresh when I bought it, well I'm the fridge the other 2 are frozen. Strange but true. Yes I preferred the cheapest one. Tasty gravy. Cheers John. All the best. 😋😋👍👍

[@misfit2022]

I used to eat the Asda cottage pie regularly as I worked within a mile of Asda so I would walk down and pick one up at lunch once a week but when I moved from that job I started to make my own and haven’t looked back. Home made cottage pie is definitely the way to go. I use a Pyrex dish.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers yes can't beat making your own. 😋👌

[@johndavis7944]

Hi Gareth. A great review of the 3 Cottage Pies. The one that was more a red colour is how my homemade recipe is because of the tomato paste. What gets my goat is some brands label their product as Shepherds pie, but it contains beef, not lamb... Grrrr 😡. We also have a Sweet Potato cottage pie and it's just an awful tasting Slop. It seems you have a better product there in England. Cheers Gareth, keep up the good work. 👍😀🇦🇺

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Sounds great John, thank you 😋😋😋👌

[@sue-anneeast9685]

Sweet potatoes are awful. Mum tried feeding them to me and I made myself sick and told mum they made me sick. I never had them put on my plate again

[@johndavis7944]

@@sue-anneeast9685 I don't know how your mum cooked them, but if baked they are stronger tasting. Whereas if steamed it's a milder flavour. Don't worry, you're not the only person who doesn't like them. I don't like the White variety so much as the Yellow. Thanks for leaving a comment 👍😀

[@graemerobinson7693]

Hi made my Auld Mother a cottage pie just a few weeks ago. Cooked my mince in the slow cooker with Oxo carrot onion and lea and Perrin's sauce for 8 hours. Topped it with Idaho cheesy mash with added butter milk and cheese! My Mum didn't even know it was smash in a blast!

Quite hard to believe 85p can be better, just shows you don't have to go for anyone's finest range or high end M&S, you've done us all a favour 👍😁

Yes that is what I was thinking, often cheap items have many additives, some of which a very dodgy to health.

[@Val-from-Leigh]

The nicest cottage pie (after homemade) is Charlie Bigham's, but I only get it if there's a reduced one (love a yellow sticker). The next best I've tried was from B&Ms chilled section, definitely worth looking for.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

cheers Val.

[@milesfb]

Hi Gareth. This is an intersting review. Strange how Asdas smart price one was more expensive than the Asda regular one. Usually I put chilli sauce on it when I buy these which isnt all that often. Getting the cottage pies out is nearly is impossible, you cannot avoid having to break them a bit. But you've definately highlighted the best and nicest one for the money. Quite a turn up for the books in this review - the regular one was the best. I think I'll include the regular cottage pie in my next delivery which is coming this Monday (Asda is where I shop - online mainly). Cheers for that and Im looking forward to trying it - so lomg as its still in stock. They've normally sold out shortly after you announce its the winner on your channel. Oh by the way, you've said before that you cannot stand to see good food going to waste. Please promsie me they all got all eaten 🙏. Cheers Gareth 👍.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

cheers Miles, yes the smart price was fresh thats why it cost more. It wasnt suitable for freezing so my mistake.

Not had a cottage pie for a while but the maker of the foil dishes cheats as the centre is raised up so less ingredients inside which sucked but were about E4.75 and your paying less than a quid OMG. Interesting review.

Love seeing these reviews as I would've never bought them for 85pence, but now I can save on midweek dinners and a proper roast dinner on a Sunday... THANKYOU

[@samcturnbull7464]

Yes one of your correspondents got it right; slop is the perfect description of these dishes aimed firmly at the underclass. I made one yesterday with cheap mince, browned off into air fryer, stick made from bones (Morrusons) and celeriac mash. Bloody lovely and not expensive at all.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

not everyone can cook pal just saying

Hi Gareth, did you freeze the Asda smart price cottage pie? I couldn't tell but you did mention that they have all been in the freezer. The Asda smart price is a chilled product and not suitable for freezing which also explains the higher price as its fresh. Also both the Tesco and the Asda smart price have do not reheat in bold so I wouldn't bother putting them in the fridge for later 😜 Cheers J

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

haha yes realised that during cooking, yes i ate one and 2 of them gone in the bin, my mistake sorry.

Wait.... SO these are packaged for my local ASDA. I live 2 mins away from this asda location via the Postcode. Im in Antrim lol. So are these only available in Leeds and Antrim?

Yes indeed. One of my favourite meals. Cottage or shepards pie. Only had the tesco and Iceland ones so far though. I eat straight out of the container. Plate if I add some veg or chips. You have the same spautula as me. Used to have a metal one until I ruined a wok with the thing. Scratched off the teflon. Now I have a new wok and silicon spatula. I add some grated cheese on top and some salt and pepper. Tastes even better.
