This dish was GREAT!!! I just HAVE to give it five stars; it is EASY, INEXPENSIVE, and TASTY! I used homemade mashed potatoes; and I put a handfull of shredded cheddar into the potatoes, then a little more on top. Thanks for the recipe!

Yumm! I put this together about a month ago and it's been residing in my freezer. Pulled it out this afternoon and let it thaw a bit and baked tonight for about 40 minutes. Very easy and tasty. My mom's looking forward to the leftovers I'll take to her.

This was so easy and tasted great! I added some garlic salt to the ground beef and added frozen peas and carrots to the whole mixture (instead of the beans). I also stirred in half the can of tomato soup to the meat and veggie mix and poured the rest of the can on top. A sprinkle of paprika to the mashed potatoes is great too. Thanks!

Very easy and good but a bit bland. I added Tony Cachere's "original creole seasoning" and it was awesome!

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I always bulked at cottage pie as I would go the "long way out" Tonight, I followed your recipe, not exactly, I added crushed garlic to the beef, and 2 onions!! I guess we just like to ward off those vampires, heh... The tomatoe soup was the key indeed! I just mashed my boiled potatoe (red) didn't add a thing to the spuds, and layered as the recipe said. This was "yum" - thank you !! P.s. I sprinkled some grated cheddar cheese on top of the mash when baking... This will be a keeper

I've been trying to find ways to get creative with our leftovers and odds-and-ends in the pantry. This dish was just what I was looking for! I had everything on-hand and it was a great meal for my meat-and-potatoes-loving-husband I used 1/2 lb. ground beef cooked with 1 onion and 1 clove garlic. Also, I used Specialty Soup Substitutes - Cream in place of the tomato soup and it turned out wonderfully! I didn't have any canned veggies, so I just mixed in a cup or so of frozen mixed veggies. Easy, filling, and a great way to stretch our budget! Thanks, Heather!

I will be keeping this recipe around to make often. This cottage pie gave me my fix of comfort food but was so quick, inexpensive, and easy. I used instant mashed potatoes (roasted garlic and cheddar), topped with cheddar cheese, and then slices of tomatoes. I didn't have paprika but will pick up for the next time I make this, and try it without the cheese topping also. I also love that this is made with ingredients I usually keep on hand. How simple! Thanks for sharing HeatherFeather!!

This is such a great tasting dish. I had made so much mashed potatoes that I didn't know what to do with the leftover. Well I will definitely be making this often. I did use vegetable soup instead of tomato (for that's all I had). Also instead of ground beef I used shredded chicken (also from left over). It was very good. My 3 year old loved it! What I love about this recipe is that you can substitute most ingredients. Thank you so much for posting!

This is good. It was a very quick and easy. Filling and you get protein, vegetables and carbs all in one dish. Thanks for a great recipe!
