Im being serious when I say this is the best cooking show on RUclips. The methods are clear, Glen is a practical teacher with a ton of knowledge. Just a good show.
Glen, I was planning on cottage pie for dinner tonight anyway. But seeing this video has just changed my plans! We're doing the double stuffed cottage pie potatoes. I think we'll add some crumbled, precooked bacon on top just before it goes in the oven the last time, because BACON!
Good morning Glen, you could cook a cardboard box on a camp fire in an old soup can and I would watch , love the on screen information/conversation . "You can use beans instead of meat, vegetable stock instead of beef stock" , hey it's a method not a recipe. : )
I could see doing a cheesesteak version with onions and peppers… sprinkle of cheese on top… This would be a great idea for leftover thanksgiving foods too!!! Or if you have leftover chili… so many options!!!
I love these "this is a method, not a recipe" videos! The methods taught have given me some valuable tools to whip up something tasty when there's nothing obvious to make with what's in the pantry and fridge. Thank you, Glen!
I'm in the midst of one of those 'I don't want to eat that' phases where nothing really sounds good. This not only sounds good, but I want to make it now. Thank you!
Due to the price we had to stop buying hamburger and started buying ground turkey. I use half a pound of ground turkey 1 cup of brown cooked lentils (I keep them in baggies on the freezer door) while the turkey is cooking put in a beef bullion cube with a little water. I'll have to try this recipe.
This is one of those, 'why didn't I think of that?' recipes. Cottage pie and stuffed baked potatoes, two of my favourites on their own. Thanks Glen, they look amazing!
As its just myself and my youngest child (17 years old) , I never get to have dinners I like, like cottage pie/shepherd's pie. Your cottage pie baked potatoes are perfect for me, because I can freeze them and they won't take up much room in my small freezer (drawers are very narrow). Thank you for a great meal idea ❤
I love Marmite, and if you haven’t tried it yet, I have a suggestion: make a compound butter of one part Marmite to three parts butter. Start with just a teaspoon or so - it’s easier to adjust to your own taste with a small amount. I use that on baked potatoes, rice, plain noodles, and especially on toast, were it’s difficult to get the right amount of Marmite and still have the toast be hot and buttery. Love Marmite toast!
Yup, have used Worcestershire also. I’ve tried Marmite in a couple of the recipes Glen has shown here and it’s just not a flavour we’ve liked. But as suggested by you folks and Glen too, once we sub in one of these they have been winners.
When Glen starts talking about variations on the dish he has just made, I feel that I can almost see the gears turning in his head as his brain sorts ingredients! ❤❤😊😊😊
@@jamesellsworth9673 With bigger potatoes. :) I'd lose the carrots and maybe add diced rutabaga. Wonder how it would be with smoked and shredded meat instead of ground? I think I am going to have to try this.
Do you ever do sweet potatoes as a dessert? Because I love them with cinnamon butter and chocolate hummus but with this I was wondering what cream cheese and diced pecans, and then the other? Salmon is good with sweet potatoes too. If you think of a good cheese component, let me know!
Wow! I do something similar, I carmelize cabbage with onions and shredded carrot with fresh polish sausage. Stuff it in baked potatoes with Swiss cheese in the potato topping. I deglaze the pan with about a cup of a stout like Guinness or Harp
Yum!! Yes, it would be great vegan - I like Kitchen bouquet for 'meaty' flavor in meat free dishes. Also lentils rather than beans or for a meat dish; turkey - oh so many possibilities. Peas, green beans, even chopped broccoli. Great dish. Which reminds me - we make "Upadish" for supper when making up a recipe. Yes, I stole that name - a new bride said that's what she was making for supper - took him 2 years to figure out that wasn't the name of the food, just the process. LOL. One final note - I LOVE your wife's sweater. Beautiful.
For me living out in Alberta I remember having what was called "Shepherd's Pie" on multiple occasions and it was always made with beef. I never heard of "Cottage Pie" until I watched your channel.
I was born in 1953 in the UK. Growing up, cottage pie was always:- Monday, leftover roast shoulder of lamb, minced, with gravy, & mash on top. It's not chefy, it's just recycling the leftovers.
I made these for dinner a few nights ago. They were delicious! I froze the extras and will pull them out when we need a quick meal! Thanks Glen and Julie!
Thank you. Delicious. When I arrived home from work last Tuesday it was raining in my kitchen. Surreal. My first thought was what are we going to have for dinner. Off topic I know but food for thought.
when julie says...it's a potato sandwich...i love how you can nearly see the wheels spinning in glen's head for more ideas on this! 😉🙃 looks really good but i would have to nix the marmite (i am gluten free) and nix the horseradish (just ick for me 🥴). indeed this is one of those anything goes but then that's how i cook...basic methods using what i like or have on hand at the time. big reason i love this channel! 🥰
Made this last night, it was a huge hit! What a great self-contained hearty meal. My only suggestion is to brush the potato skins in oil between baking and filling. The skins get extra crispy!
Thanks for the idea :) Gonna try this with a hamburger gravy recipe that I love. Normally it's over mashed potatoes, but I'm sure I could modify it to work in a stuffed potato 🙂
Two friends here in Fl for Jan. I am from Buffalo. My father in law worked for Larkin. BTW. ( saw an earlier show) Anyway I asked my, one from Toronto and the other Burlington friends, "can you guys teach me about Marmite?" They just looked at each other. Neither knew what I was talking about. I don't know if you ever have time to read this stuff, but I thought this was hilarious because one of the guys "had" a cantering business. Then I say, "don't you watch Glen? Dears in a headlight response. This went on for a long time then. Thanks man, you got a great show.
Re the marmite. I'm not surprised by the response. While you can get it in Toronto at your local supermarket, I rarely see anyone buy it. Marmite is a product I tend to associate with Australia 🇦🇺 Same with Vegemite.
As for Glen, fans as special group. As it is, Glen is known by other cooks online who go to him when they look for research. B Dylan Hollis, and the guys from Jolly have both spoken highly of Glen (I think that Max Miller has spoken of him as well).
I don't know how I missed this video I am a cottage pie fanatic and only started using marmite when I saw Glens cottage pie video, now a double baked potato cottage pie blew my mind, now I can have a hand held cottage pie without the mess.
I am sure that I said this before, but you can absolutely use some dried mushrooms. After you have rehydrated them, the soaking water makes an amazing broth. Shiitake are my favorite.
A friend and I made a huge batch of this recipe today and vacuum sealed the individual portions. Thanks for a great recipe idea Glen! Could not find marmite unfortunately.
That mad look at the end, French fries! Chips! Looking at the fussiness of fork and spoon, I'd repurpose a bread bag to pipe them. Then throw it away, less washing up.
Just gave me the Ahhh moment and Ie me realize why a shepherd pie would be lamb. Today I realized it could reference the animal the shepherd watched over. Always thought oh the shepherd part was a reference to the class of people that would eat it- farmers, ranchers, workers class people who would live in cottages. Lived in beef country didn't have lamb tell I was over 30 in a Indian restaurant.
That looks really delicious. I think I'd add some herbs to the potatoes for some freshness to counter the rich filling. I feel you about the ricer. I mostly use mine to make egg salad.
hey Glen, love the videos, instead of Marmite, maybe try Miso next time, you can get dark rich umami flavor with miso but maybe more acceptable to people
The wedge style potato ricers tend to be both easier to use and clean; there is a pin at the hinge that you just pull out and the whole thing pops apart and is top rack dishwasher safe. I am someone who HATES doing dishes, so I will always opt for the utensils which are easiest to keep clean. 😂
I do a version of this with a bbq pulled pork in the bottom, and a loaded baked potato mash, topped with a piece of bacon and cheddar, and then chives after they come from the oven.
There is a taco truck near by that serves baked potatoes with your choice of meat and melted panela cheese on top. I get carne asada. It comes with hand made corn tortillas, salsa, onions and cilantro. It is wonderful. It is the Mexican version of your dish
Whenever I buy roasting types of potatoes, I roast them in large numbers (4-6, usually). I have one for dinner and the others go into the fridge and end up becoming breakfast or dinner over the next few days. I try to plan for this when I know the week is going to be extremely busy just because having a potato that I can heat up quickly and top with ... something ... makes my stress levels go down a lot.
I kinda worry this will all take too long for dinner. Could I put the potatoes in earlier than 4:25? But seriously, this looks good. I'll have to try it.
Glen, what a great video! Awesome recipe, perfection at the end and i luv the new camera angles! Reminds me of some of the cinematic techniques of Fellini or Vertov. Brave new wave RUclips vids! 😎👍👍🍻 could use a beer or wine pairing with the dish too, just sayin'.
Im being serious when I say this is the best cooking show on RUclips.
The methods are clear, Glen is a practical teacher with a ton of knowledge.
Just a good show.
0:12 "I don't have a recipe." That never stopped me, either. You go, Glen!
Glen may not have a recipe, but he’s got a method and that is enough.
Glen, I was planning on cottage pie for dinner tonight anyway. But seeing this video has just changed my plans! We're doing the double stuffed cottage pie potatoes. I think we'll add some crumbled, precooked bacon on top just before it goes in the oven the last time, because BACON!
Needs a little shredded cheese on top too.
@NotKev2017 always a need for bacon
Good morning Glen, you could cook a cardboard box on a camp fire in an old soup can and I would watch , love the on screen information/conversation . "You can use beans instead of meat, vegetable stock instead of beef stock" , hey it's a method not a recipe. : )
Amazing - a cottage pie recipe with its own portion control! 😂
Out of all the cooking shows, you cook to my likes the most.
I could see doing a cheesesteak version with onions and peppers… sprinkle of cheese on top…
This would be a great idea for leftover thanksgiving foods too!!! Or if you have leftover chili… so many options!!!
I bet these would freeze well also!
I do a cheesesteak filling for stuffed peppers. Tasty and low/no carbs!
I love these "this is a method, not a recipe" videos! The methods taught have given me some valuable tools to whip up something tasty when there's nothing obvious to make with what's in the pantry and fridge. Thank you, Glen!
I'm in the midst of one of those 'I don't want to eat that' phases where nothing really sounds good. This not only sounds good, but I want to make it now. Thank you!
These look delicious. I love things that can be frozen in individual servings with just the two of us.
Due to the price we had to stop buying hamburger and started buying ground turkey. I use half a pound of ground turkey 1 cup of brown cooked lentils (I keep them in baggies on the freezer door) while the turkey is cooking put in a beef bullion cube with a little water. I'll have to try this recipe.
Where I live ground turkey is $8 per pound and ground beef is available for $4 per pound.
This is one of those, 'why didn't I think of that?' recipes. Cottage pie and stuffed baked potatoes, two of my favourites on their own. Thanks Glen, they look amazing!
I love my ricer, comes apart easily and washes up nicely in the dishwasher.
As its just myself and my youngest child (17 years old) , I never get to have dinners I like, like cottage pie/shepherd's pie. Your cottage pie baked potatoes are perfect for me, because I can freeze them and they won't take up much room in my small freezer (drawers are very narrow). Thank you for a great meal idea ❤
I have Marmite in my cupboard because of you ...have not used it yet .... but any day now I will remember to use it!!!
I love Marmite, and if you haven’t tried it yet, I have a suggestion: make a compound butter of one part Marmite to three parts butter. Start with just a teaspoon or so - it’s easier to adjust to your own taste with a small amount.
I use that on baked potatoes, rice, plain noodles, and especially on toast, were it’s difficult to get the right amount of Marmite and still have the toast be hot and buttery. Love Marmite toast!
I love Julie’s sweater. It goes well with a dish like this.
I like that. I was thinking of using chilli instead for the fill. With some sprinkles of cheddar on top and a couple jalapenos...
Vegetarian chili and fixins on a baked potatobis one of my favorites.
I love my ricer!
I also use it to rice hard boiled eggs for egg salad. ( I like my eggs fine)
For those who don't like Marmite, you can also get a great flavor in that dish by subbing in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.
Or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast...
Good to know as we aren’t fans of the flavour of marmite.
Worcestershire works, too.
Yup, have used Worcestershire also.
I’ve tried Marmite in a couple of the recipes Glen has shown here and it’s just not a flavour we’ve liked.
But as suggested by you folks and Glen too, once we sub in one of these they have been winners.
When Glen starts talking about variations on the dish he has just made, I feel that I can almost see the gears turning in his head as his brain sorts ingredients! ❤❤😊😊😊
That looks good. Especially as a frozen midweek meal. I need to try that on a nice, crusty bread trencher.
Without the potato.
@@jamesellsworth9673 With bigger potatoes. :) I'd lose the carrots and maybe add diced rutabaga. Wonder how it would be with smoked and shredded meat instead of ground? I think I am going to have to try this.
Definitely a keeper! I love making cottage pie, and sometimes I will use sweet potatoes. I am going to try this with those😊
Do you ever do sweet potatoes as a dessert? Because I love them with cinnamon butter and chocolate hummus but with this I was wondering what cream cheese and diced pecans, and then the other?
Salmon is good with sweet potatoes too. If you think of a good cheese component, let me know!
Love adding radishes to my mashed potatoes! Turns them pink.
Glen, you wild man! You had me at "stuffed baked potato," and then you went and cranked the knob all the way to 12 on this one!
Potato #1 is why i always make one more than needed.
Wow! I do something similar, I carmelize cabbage with onions and shredded carrot with fresh polish sausage. Stuff it in baked potatoes with Swiss cheese in the potato topping. I deglaze the pan with about a cup of a stout like Guinness or Harp
It's a fun idea but as a big order of beans is being delivered tomorrow, the vegetarian option is interesting me more. Thanks!🤗😍
Just sitting down to lunch and this wonderful video has blessed me with some great lunchtime entertainment.
Yum!! Yes, it would be great vegan - I like Kitchen bouquet for 'meaty' flavor in meat free dishes. Also lentils rather than beans or for a meat dish; turkey - oh so many possibilities.

Another must make from Glen's kitchen 😃

My mom used to make this but used butternut or pumpkin instead of potatoes. Delicious!
I do this with sweetpotatoes! Instead of making the mash separately I just mash it into the meat filling and then put cheese over the whole thing 😄
Sweet potatoes? That’s a great idea!
This sounds fabulous. I don’t see how I could go wrong with those ingredients.
Thank you. Delicious. When I arrived home from work last Tuesday it was raining in my kitchen. Surreal. My first thought was what are we going to have for dinner. Off topic I know but food for thought.
Hello Glen from Missouri. We watch you all the time. This recipe look absolutely Amazing!
when julie says...it's a potato sandwich...i love how you can nearly see the wheels spinning in glen's head for more ideas on this! 😉🙃 looks really good but i would have to nix the marmite (i am gluten free) and nix the horseradish (just ick for me 🥴). indeed this is one of those anything goes but then that's how i cook...basic methods using what i like or have on hand at the time. big reason i love this channel! 🥰
What a great idea! Will give these a try this week, having extras to freeze is a welcome bonus.
Another amazing recipe. Your videography is stellar, the close up stills of the potato well great.
Made this last night, it was a huge hit! What a great self-contained hearty meal. My only suggestion is to brush the potato skins in oil between baking and filling. The skins get extra crispy!
Thanks for the idea :) Gonna try this with a hamburger gravy recipe that I love. Normally it's over mashed potatoes, but I'm sure I could modify it to work in a stuffed potato 🙂
Boy! I was going to skip this episode but all the shorts, I've been watching recently, subconsciously drew me in.
Two friends here in Fl for Jan. I am from Buffalo. My father in law worked for Larkin. BTW. ( saw an earlier show) Anyway I asked my, one from Toronto and the other Burlington friends, "can you guys teach me about Marmite?"
They just looked at each other. Neither knew what I was talking about. I don't know if you ever have time to read this stuff, but I thought this was hilarious because one of the guys "had" a cantering business. Then I say, "don't you watch Glen?

Going to make these next week! We love cottage pie.
Do this with chili! Potatoes and cheese on top. I love the combo!
Glen, this is one of the most delicious looking things I've ever seen! Wow, I'm going to attempt this. Yes, I'm a meat and potatoes kind of guy lol.
Just in time! Taking Cottage Pie to a potluck tomorrow. Appreciated the reminders for the filling. These sound delicious and convenient.
I don't know how I missed this video I am a cottage pie fanatic and only started using marmite when I saw Glens cottage pie video, now a double baked potato cottage pie blew my mind, now I can have a hand held cottage pie without the mess.
Glen was welding that wooden spatula with power. Pretty nice looking cottage pie-tato.
Love this idea! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Awesomeness!!!
We do love a Shepherd's Pie concept!!!!
nice looking meal glen you make me wanting to try it
oh yeah ... and I love how you managed to 'rescue' the fallen shroom.
Love this new take on a favorite classic !! I am looking forward to trying it.😊 PS. I bought a jar of Marmite try- thank you Glen!
Oh my yum. Yeah, I’m gonna have to make this
That looks so good.
I don't really want a potato ricer. I make mashed potatoes maybe once a year. But I really want one. 🤣
Man! That looks awesome. You could make them with ground turkey, too.
My man is going ham with the horse raddish 🤘
Looks delicious awesome..
I am sure that I said this before, but you can absolutely use some dried mushrooms. After you have rehydrated them, the soaking water makes an amazing broth. Shiitake are my favorite.
Yeah, I'm cooking this.
Love the show & keep up the great work!
Never heard of mushrooms being put in a cottage pie before, but I love them so would definitely love your cottage pie baked potatoes 😍
Looks delicious
A friend and I made a huge batch of this recipe today and vacuum sealed the individual portions. Thanks for a great recipe idea Glen! Could not find marmite unfortunately.
Great idea for putting individual servings into the freezer!!
Glen we make and freeze twice baked potatoes also. Definitely have to try this recipe
Looks fantastic Glen!
Love this idea!!
Looks yummy, going to need to get baking potatoes the next time I’m grocery shopping
I'm definitely going to do this soon.
I would add Boursin cheese to the mashed potatoes 😊
Nice idea to change it up with beans and freezing portions too.
Just made these. Came out fantastic! We'll probably mix cheese into the potatoes next time.
That mad look at the end, French fries! Chips!
Looking at the fussiness of fork and spoon, I'd repurpose a bread bag to pipe them. Then throw it away, less washing up.
Oh! Good idea!
Drooling
Im so making this. Great idea.
That looks so good!
Looks Amazing!

Lived in beef country didn't have lamb tell I was over 30 in a Indian restaurant.
Exactly... shepherds' pie = mutton or lamb, cottage pie = beef (or pork, or chicken, or...)
That looks really delicious. I think I'd add some herbs to the potatoes for some freshness to counter the rich filling.
I feel you about the ricer. I mostly use mine to make egg salad.
hey Glen, love the videos,
instead of Marmite, maybe try Miso next time,
you can get dark rich umami flavor with miso but maybe more acceptable to people
The wedge style potato ricers tend to be both easier to use and clean; there is a pin at the hinge that you just pull out and the whole thing pops apart and is top rack dishwasher safe. I am someone who HATES doing dishes, so I will always opt for the utensils which are easiest to keep clean. 😂
You are responsible for my buying Marmite...Thank you!
Same here!
I don't think I've ever had a Sheppard pie with pork.... Sounds good. Mmmm
That would be a Swineherd Pie. Chuck in diced apples and mustard and you'll have a winner.
I like this method switch up.
When Glen mentioned possible variations, I immediately thought of a cottage pie burrito.
I will pass on the mushrooms! Thank you!
I do a version of this with a bbq pulled pork in the bottom, and a loaded baked potato mash, topped with a piece of bacon and cheddar, and then chives after they come from the oven.
There is a taco truck near by that serves baked potatoes with your choice of meat and melted panela cheese on top. I get carne asada. It comes with hand made corn tortillas, salsa, onions and cilantro. It is wonderful. It is the Mexican version of your dish
Nice cross section shot!
Lima beans are pretty good with the beef too.
Whenever I buy roasting types of potatoes, I roast them in large numbers (4-6, usually). I have one for dinner and the others go into the fridge and end up becoming breakfast or dinner over the next few days. I try to plan for this when I know the week is going to be extremely busy just because having a potato that I can heat up quickly and top with ... something ... makes my stress levels go down a lot.
Freshly squozen potatoes
I don't have marmite, but I have miso. Sounds strange, but I'm going to try it. What kind of pan? Is it 4 litter?
I kinda worry this will all take too long for dinner. Could I put the potatoes in earlier than 4:25?
But seriously, this looks good. I'll have to try it.
Glen, what a great video! Awesome recipe, perfection at the end and i luv the new camera angles! Reminds me of some of the cinematic techniques of Fellini or Vertov. Brave new wave RUclips vids! 😎👍👍🍻 could use a beer or wine pairing with the dish too, just sayin'.
That looks very good! What is marmite? Not sure if we have it in the States.
