Sweet Potato Cottage Pie

05/08/2019 By Caralee Leave a Comment

This is such a lovely, comforting winter dish, it is like a big plate of love! Comforting food can be healthy and here is the perfect example of that.

I used to love cottage pie when I was growing up, this is a tastier version with the sweet potato mash, instead of regular potatoes. This is a excellent recipe to make for the family and have in the fridge for the week ahead.

This week I shared this dish as part of the Real Food Pledge Challenge. It is a winner for sure in the tribe. If you want to know more about the challenge, click here.
