Baked beans in Cottage pie

[Reaa]

Do you?

I love beans in cottage pie, one of my DC hates it, so I always ended making them a smaller separate one.

Just wondered how many others do add them in.

I've known others do it but never had the courage myself. COURAGE my friend . No, haven't either. But then, I live with culinary dirtbags who don't like 'mixed up' food. Asshats .

I hate baked beans so that sounds vile.

I hate carrots in cottage pie, fine served with but not in and only if no beans available.

Not in it. But my Mum always served cottage pie with beans.

Oh good god no just why! My mum used to put them in chilli its frickin rank if i want to add something to shepherds pie i bung a hand ful of peas in but NO BEANS

When I am ruler of the universe, the first thing I will be doing is creating universal laws against the existence of baked beans. To add them into the food of the non-gods that is cottage pie will be a crime punishable by a long, slow and painful death.

No, never heard of it and never had one with baked beans in it.

You could just chuck tins of baked beans at them once

I don't, my Mum does. I like both versions!

no.
just no.
Totally changes the taste, and makes it sort of claggy.
I like baked beans, as baked beans. I cannot imagine any dish that tastes better with them in, unless it tasted rubbish before hand.

I like baked beans but they are not and never should be an ingredient

Ive not had chilli since 1988ish because Ihave flashbacks of beans

MrsJayy perfect. The punishment should most definitely fit the crime so being pummeled to death by tins of beans would be entirely appropriate.

You're describing what we call Cowboy Pie in our house! (Cottage Pie with baked beans in it & grated cheese on top of the.mashed potato topping)

These are two of my favourite things to eat but not together!

My mum used to call it cowboy pie if it had beans in. I much prefer it without.

Beans in the mix, cheese on top = cowboy pie! My six year old would eat this daily given the chance, which is great as you can get loads of veg in it

ooooh yes, beans go in here!

Generally 4-500g of mince, about 3 onions, 1 tin of tomatoes, some seasoning & worcs sauce, & 1 tin of beans, plus a disgraceful amount of mash on top.

It's not properly cottage pie at all, cowboy pie did somebody say? But we call it shepherds pie (apologies to purists) & have it with frozen peas (cooked ) & everybody here loves it.

Sorry

Always

Not in it but I always have them with it

No, but I have rinsed the juice off baked beans and put them in chilli when I had no kidney beans.

Sometimes I have cottage pie with carrots and mushrooms in it with a large side of peas.

Sometimes I have mince and replace the carrots, mushrooms and peas with baked beans and serve it with spuds. So it's a bit like a stew. It's bloody gorgeous.

Why would anyone do this?

I love baked beans but nowhere near anything in gravy such as cottage pie, meat pie or a roast dinner!
