  Have made this recipe a few times now ..the half potato, half parsnip topping version as suggested above. Delicious. I think the next time I may add a chopped pepper to up the vegetable component though. I love this 'pie' recipe as its really quick unlike some of the others

  Nice easy recipe - quick to make and nice and tasty. I topped mine with swede instead of parsnips. Only topped half the recipe with swede so will use the remainder of the mince mixture with rice tomorrow.

  This was fantastic! I make dozens of GF recipes and this rates as one of my favourites! Easy to make and fairly quick. I didn't add the water as it didn't need any extra liquid and I added a couple of potatoes to the mash. Next time I will add a teaspoon of mild chilli powder too for a little extra kick. Will definitely be making this again. And again. And again!

  This recipe is delicious, quick and easy. I made it in advance and warmed it up the next day. I left out the kidney beans, and added a pinch of chilli flakes. I made potato mash together with one parsnip. Definately a firm favourite.

  Excellent as a change from traditional cottage pie. Did half parsnips and potatoe and next time would even use less parsnips. Used extra cumin and some chilli powder as didn't have kidney beans with chilli. Overall a fantastic recipie and both my husband and 3 yr old loved it. Only thing-5 minutes prep time!?!?! More like 25 by time you've peeling chopped and fried everything

  Very simple and tasty dish which goes down well with all the family. Use a deep pie dish to serve so you can acomodate the parsnip mash. Also, for a more concentrated flavour leave out the water so you have a thick consistent meat sauce. After 20 minutes, if you still have a watery sauce, then turn the heat up to thicken The combination of parsnip and cumin gives the dish a "nice spicy kick"

  I made this tonight but my mom doesn't like parsnips and I didn't fancy the idea of a mashed potato topping so I decided to top with sliced new potatoes and bake in the oven to make it into a chilli beef Hotpot instead. A tasty way to use up mince with just a few store cupboard staples added

  Really yummy - liked the changes to ordinary cottage pie - I added some mushrooms, chilli powder and a couple of dashes of tabasco. I also topped with potato mash as I don't like parsnips (at all!!).

  This was 'OK', but I probably wont be making it again. I wasn't impressed with the chilli sauce from the tin of kidney beans (bought from Sainsburys), I think it would be better to make the sauce from scratch. However, I think I'll stick with traditional shepherd's/cottage pie OR chilli & rice!

  I made this with beef and carrots as my boyf is not a fan of kidney beans and I only had lamb mince. It was delicious!! Added some cheese on top and used plain potato mash. I slightly upped the amount of cumin and added a good portion of chilli flakes. I also didn't add the water and added an extra tin of tomato as I think I made a bigger portion of mince than the recipe states. It tasted a bit like a healthy version of chilli nachos! Will def make again!

  This was nice, but not very "chilli", I added a good sprinkling of mild chilli powder aswell, but when the mince finished cooking it still needed a good shake of tabasco. I don't like parsnips so topped with half sweet potato/have normal potato mash, which worked well. Only 3*s for not living up to the chilli name!

  Hi all, I'm going to cook this tomorrow for friends and was wondering for those who have already tried it, do you think some bits of chorizo in the mince would work well?
