What do you serve with cottage pie?

Love homemade cottage pie! Thinking I should make it this week but not sure what to serve with it. I usually do a pile of mixed veg. But just wondering what everyone else does? I know it doesn't really need anything extra.

Either a big pile of broccoli OR baked beans.

Mixed green vegetables, or real King Edward chips if I'm feeling very sorry for myself.

Buttered sweetheart cabbage.

MiL has it regularly just on it's own. Can't say I've ever had it and couldn't say more than "why bother?"

MsMustDoBetter · 19/10/2019 17:05

Mine already has tonnes of veg in it, so just some green beans on the side.

Lllot5 · 19/10/2019 17:07

Baked beans. Brown sauce.

Am I the only person left who only has Yorkshire puddings with roast beef? Also, did people have YP with so many things before you could get them ready made?

Baked beans or peas, in answer to the OP.

JellyfishAndShells · 19/10/2019 17:16

Peas, only peas

Someonesayroadtrip · 19/10/2019 17:24

See I can't imagine baked beans with it, but then I hardly ever have baked beans unless it's a cooked breakfast.

To whoever said it's a self contained meal, I know that, but I love variety.

The Yorkie question, can't say I have them other than every Sunday (with any meat 😂) but if I do buy ready made ones husband I and I have been known to scoff the lot on a evening. 🙈 so we don't tend to have them in 😂

Cottage pie is my favourite home made food.

Root veg goes in it, green veggies on the side, cheesey leeks on top!
