Easy Sliming Cottage Pie
Here’s my Easy Cottage Pie Slimming version
So I wanted to make the tastiest ever Cottage Pie and I wanted to make it fit for the Sliming World regime!
I set to and developed a recipe and packed in heaps of veggies.It consists of 5% Lean Minced Beef and a whole host of other stuff stuffed into a pie!
So here it is – EPLS Cottage Pie Slimming styleeeeee…
I have to say it’s super tasty and has every vegetable going from , onions, mushrooms, carrots, tomatoes, broccoli, potatoes and sweet potatoes!
It would also have had leeks but somehow or other I lost the leeks on the way home from the supermarket?
Not sure how that happened – too funny!
So you can make ahead and serve with even more speed food and you’re away!
I usually do peas, sweetcorn, green beans – yum! (Actually you could serve with baked beans if you’re really hungry?)
Free Cottage Pie
It’s Syn free which matters for Slimming people.
But really it doesn’t matter as it’s a stand alone, deliciously healthy dinner! I promise…
This Cottage pie is so easy to make, you just need a little time. I actively encourage you to make double the portion and make up some meals and freeze in portions before bake.
That way you can grab one out the freezer in the morning and bang it in the oven when you get in from work, school or wherever!
Then you have a delicious on-plan supper – just like that!
You can also just make the bolognaise and freeze than.
You can then use it for a whole host of recipes, Spaghetti bolognaise or add Chilli flakes and kidney beans for a lovely Chilli Con Carne
Popping Broccoli in adds that extra layer of speed food
And a topping of potato & sweet potato – so good!

So I made the cottage pie recipe today but I made it vegetarian by swapping the meat for cooked brown lentils and I used 2 teaspoons of reduced salt yeast extract to add a ‘meaty’ flavour instead of beef stock cubes. I made enough base to freeze in batches. To one batch I will add mushrooms and walnuts to create a Veggie Bolognese and the other batch will be turned into chilli by adding Chilli flakes or Chipotle paste.

This recipe works well with chicken too. Use 8 boneless, skinned chicken thigh portions or 4 large skinned chicken fillets instead of the pork.
