What do you serve with cottage pie?

[Someonesayroadtrip]

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.

Yorkshire pud sounds very odd with it too

It is! But any excuse

Peas & carrots.

Yorkshire pud would totally work...how have I never thought of that before??!

Baked beans

Peas. But I put swede and carrots in the mash too, so it isn’t just plain potatoes.

Baked beans or green veg.

I put mixed veg in the pie I don't serve it with anything

What kind of heathen or savage serves baked beans with cottage pie?

Never mind yorkshires, or spaghetti hoops on top of the mash 😱

green beans or
kale or similar
and a dollop of HP sauce

Baked beans

Red cabbage and cauliflower cheese. I put peas and carrots in it usually. Sometimes, however, I make a version with mince, onions, baked beans and topped with cheesy mash. With that, we’d have garlic mushrooms and crusty bread.

I cook carrots in the cottage pie and usually serve peas and broccoli or green beans with it.
One of my favourites ways to make it is to put a layer of cauliflower cheese or cheesy leeks between the meat and the mash but DH and the kids don't like it that way at all.

I make quite a dry pie so serve lots of gravy with it too.

I put onions, peas and carrots in mine so any other veg I have... green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, sweetcorn, cabbage, etc.... with extra gravy. Never heard of garlic bread with it before!

Can I ask why people have extra potato with it?

Green beans for me, and ketchup on the pie because I'm wrong like that!

Love some of these suggestions though, and am now craving cottage pie!

I made one at the weekend and topped it with ( Ice land) carrot and Swede mash very nice it was too!.

We have gravy, bread and green veg!

Green beans and cabbage

Carrots and peas are already in it for me. So I serve with cabbage or broccoli and plenty of gravy.

Oh and a big fat dollop of ketchup!
