The mashed potato topping was too runny. I had to add more flour to thicken it up.

This cottage pie was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe with lentils instead of beef. It was still delicious! The lentils added a nice texture and flavor to the dish.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef. I made it with some leftover steak and it was delicious. The mashed potato topping was a perfect addition.
