    I have only ever made this as the sweet chilli pie, but it was a big hit with my other half and our friends. Excellent comfort food:)

    Amazing! Soooo super tasty just love this website. Im not a big fan of chili or hot food but with the soured cream it really mellowed it for me. Needed to keep potatoes in for longer, maybe the ones i used were bigger than the recipes haha! Cooked the exact amounts for just 2 people (bar the potatoes where i used just 2!) Going to freeze the rest and do the pie version in a couple of weeks cant wait! Xx

    A great midweek recipe. We have two little ones so I left out the chillies and served with mashed sweet potatoes. I drizzled the adult portions with HOT sweet chilli sauce to spice things up. Yummy.
