This will be the easiest Cottage Pie you will ever make!
Simple Cottage Pie Slow Cooker Recipe – Serves 2 Adults + 2 Young Children
You will need:
1 x Standard Slow Cooker
1 x Onion (diced)
450g of Minced Beef (I use extra lean)
1 x Small Can of Condensed Mushroom Soup (295g)
1 x Beef Stock Cube (crumbled)
4 x White Potatoes to make the mash potato topping
1 x Handful of Grated Cheese (optional topping)
Instructions:
1. Crumble the Mince into the Slow Cooker, add Diced Onion, crumbled Beef Stock Cube and the Can of Condensed Mushroom Soup – Stir until well mixed
2. Turn the Cooker onto low and leave for 6-8 hours
3. Make your Mash by boiling the potatoes (quartered) for approx 20 minutes (until soft when fork/skewer inserted) and then mashing (butter optional). Put Mash in airtight container and place in fridge until needed.
4. When mince is cooked, layer the bottom of a ovenproof dish and top with mash and cheese. Either place in oven on 180 degrees for approx 10-15 minutes or grill for a few minutes. Ensure topping is piping hot before serving.
Serve with fresh steamed vegetables
If you require larger portions double the ingredients and use a large Slow Cooker.

NOt crazy about any crock pot recipe that I have to do something MORE once I return home. I want to set it and forget it.
How much are 450 grams? We use pounds for meat here. Too complicated for a crock pot.

Looks like a great idea what could I use instead of mushroom soup as my children don’t Like soup x
Emma you can use a thick gravy – I do this frequently! This can just be gravy granules and hot water – but make it as thick as you’d expect a ‘thick’ soup to be as the mushroom soup is condensed.
