re meat pies

[NSWP]

OK back on track, I purchased an Ivan's cottage pie from Coles the other day, think it was $12 on special. Anyway it was great for me, no pastry and no gluten disclosed in the allergens. I got two dinners out of it.  Air fryer job. Lubbly Jubbly.  No garlic !! lol.

It sounds like a mole negro in a pie🤷‍♀️minus the chillis, though he did say it was peppery so perhaps they substituted the spice. 

I am pretty sure all mole sauces are made with some amount of chilies. 
 

Mole negro uses smoked chilies. Helps with the dark colour.

Les, Ivan’s Pies are not too far from us - 10-15 minutes drive. Grandson’s school usually has a fundraising drive with them. Very nice products. The cottage pie you bought is $12.50 on their online shop. Ivan’s Pies

 

They have a factory outlet which we must visit once we return home from Cairns.

Yes I checked their website. The big cottage pie was normally $14 at Coles here, but on special for $12.  I could have got 3 feeds out of it but settled for two, did not have extras, veg etc with it. I would buy them again.

Looks reasonable

$14 is not too big a mark up then. Not a bad priced meal for two with the price of meat these days. It would cost as much to make it.

Looks so good, I'm going to buy one to have on standby.  I make savoury mince, and hamburgers, but have never made cottage pie.

They really are pretty good, trying hard to cut back on carbs, so while the spud doesn’t help the lack of pastry is a plus,

Question:    Does a pie “without” pastry qualify as a PIE? 🤔🤔🤔 what say you  Mr Google.

PS: Looks delicious regardless.

More importantly,  is it made using real cottages?

Next time you make savoury mince cook and mash some potatoes as well, put the mince in the bottom of an ovenproof dish, then the mash on top. Rough up the top of the mash with a fork, brush with a little butter and bake until the top is golden.

Hope not, have you seen the cost of building materials lately. Cheaper to use a lettuce.

Yes I should try.  It sounds easy enough.  My friend bakes sliced bread in the oven and puts it in bottom of ovenproof dish.

A cottage pie is so much better than a cottage cheese pie.
