We love home cooked food and in this video, we put Sharon's home made cottage pie against a ready meal from Tesco, their shepards pie. We know that a cottage pie is minced beef and a shepards pie is made with lamb mince but let's see what one hits the spot.

Nothing like proper home made Grub👍

@andrewhead6267 2 года назад

Fully support the cheese on the mash option. This home made version makes a fabulous Sunday lunch IMHO. Always have a cottage pie on New Year’s Day. Prepared on New Years Eve, already for the family when they finally get up, and I have had a winter morning walk to see in the new year. It’s fab with lovely fresh greens veg.

@Bobby8270 2 года назад

Hi Butlers. Love your show. I bought an air fryer and have been following your recipes. Your channels is making such a difference to our lives. I have fallen in love with cooking and feel much healthier plus we’re saving money plus we’re not eating all that processed muck. I actually feel healthier also. Keep it up. Tell Sharon we love her. God bless yous and your family. Take care Bud. ❤🙏🙌

Me too, I also found the food tastes better when done in the air fryer

@eadjh98 2 года назад

Hiya guys, I make my own cottage pies all the time, and ye cannot wack them! So tasty and with texture! Not just a paste type meal! 👍👍yours looked great!

@stevek3036 2 года назад

Great video - you hit the nail on the head. 12% meat and the rest was flavourings. Please keep making the point that what these so-called super markets are selling crap with very tasty flavours to mask the complete lack of wholesome value. Eat a Tesco pie and you will be hungry an hour later. Eat some Sharon and She will keep you sustained for days!

@5762dg 2 года назад

Really good video as everybody has their own way of making cottage pie and shepherd's pie. For the former,I add some allspice to the meat mixture to bring out the flavour. Serve with broccoli and cauliflower cheese.

@STTC 2 года назад

This is so refreshing, everyone else would have definitely said the Tesco one was bland, tasteless etc IF they were doing a comparison test. But Martin is honest and says its not bad, which is true as I have had one, so well done once again to the honest Butlers reviews ✌️

@JeansDolls Год назад

When I was a child you could only find beef mince, so I always use beef mince and still call it shepherds pie as my mum and her mum used too. I make 2 at a time and freeze.

@gailhawkins3134 2 года назад

Love you two, you are so down to earth. You compare simple foods easily cooked . Many products don't look like the package illustration. One of the most misleading is Macdonald's. I want to say 'Can I have one like the picture?' Oh that I was brave enough. Good luck both. Nanny Gail in Stoke.🤩

@peteracton1515 2 года назад

@karentoynton8948 Год назад

Looked very tasty. I like a bit of horseradish in my mash pots when making a cottage /shepherds pie. It gives a nice kick. Hehe.😊

@gerryhope3931 Год назад

The one thing I do when I make this dish is to cook cauliflower along with the potato then mash them together, also agree with a topping of cheddar cheese. One other thing to save even more money is to cook the potato in a pressure cooker, which cuts the cooking time by about half

@zoepatterson3643 Год назад

Hi folks ,another great video ,I find the Ash in shop bought ready meals is like instant ma's very watery and tasteless ,Sharon youe done it again .Martin is so lucky .

@JazzFunkNobby1964 Год назад

Wourcester Sauce is an absolute must. Mayo in the mash. Grated cheddar on top. I also put celery in mine. I was wondering if you could cook the pie in the air fryer once it's been made? You've made me hungry again. Gonna make one tomorrow. Forgot to say sometimes I make a spicey one with lots of fresh chopped chillies in it.

In our view no contest the homemade one is always going to be the best you are great cooks. Im glad Martin read out the ingredients on the Tesco one as I am allergic to tomatoe puree cheers guys great video .Kevbo&Jackie

@GC2560 2 года назад

An egg yolk and some cheese mixed in with the mashed potato works a treat. No need to put cheese on top of the mash.

@JazzFunkNobby1964 Год назад

Nah mate cheese on top is best.

@aussiejace8572 Год назад

gee those ready to eat meals sound so cheap over there.. The average price over here is about $6 and up for a ready make meal.

@cybernet70791 Год назад

brilliant as always. im home cooking alot for my gluten free son. ive already made the shepherds pies in little foil trays and frozen them. how long would they take in an air fryer to cook from frozen and is the foil trays ok in the air fryer thanks

@butlersempire Год назад

We always defrost to save on cooking time, yes the foil containers are fine.

@judithglencross9070 2 года назад

You bought 25% fat in the mince. there would have been less liquid with 5% fat . I buy both depending on what I’m making . Love your cooking , Made your pasties yesterday , loved them .

@jumpjet777 2 года назад

I put Maggi Sauce on chips instead of vinegar, I much prefer it. Maggi goes in soups, stews, you name it, even in pepper sauce for steak. 👍

@jimlepeu577 2 года назад

I think you need stack boards on that fork lol. We don’t get those ready meals, I suppose they could be useful under certain circumstances but we never use them.

@karenshean8841 Год назад

There's no comparison and yes to the baked beans.

@wildgooseman7047 Год назад

Looking at the home made one, a bit more mash would have seen an easy 3, maybe even 4 individual pies for a little over the price of one. Homemade shepherds/cottage pie is right up their with great wintery comfort foods. Just a thought on all of the extra ingredients in the shop bought, a lot of these would have been the equivalent of the Oxo cube and gravy granules a Maggi sauce.

@janetroberts2262 Год назад

You could have made two the same size as the shop bought one with your ingredients and they’d have still been deeper with much more meat, veg and flavour (and if your on your own, pop one in the freezer) making each one cost £1.35 😋❤️

Its just the princible of home cooking against mass produced that we were demonstrating, As you know, anything that comes from a factory will have some sort of preservative in but in general its just good practice to keep them to a minimum.

Always best to put some seasoning give it a little good taste all the other little ingredients to give it that cookie taste like I said home-made shepherds pie is the best. Another one do home-made macaroni cheese and then buy one from the shop and you’ll see the difference and the taste is completely different homemade macaroni cheese is better than the one in the shop try that

Marcus, you'd be pretty hard pushed to remove all of those things in modern food bud. Its an oxo cube for beef flavouring. Anything that comes Packaged from a food supplier will have these sort of things in. The idea is to limit the exposure to the quantities and don't rely on packaged foods. Cook your own. that's the message.
