To prepare, simply remove the outer packaging and any film. You can heat this dish in a microwave or an oven. For microwave heating, follow the instructions on the packaging, usually involving piercing the film and heating for a few minutes until thoroughly warmed through. If using an oven, transfer the contents to an oven-safe dish, cover loosely with foil, and heat at a moderate temperature until hot. Ensure the pie is steaming and the topping is heated through before serving.

Unlike traditional shepherd's pie which uses a potato topping, this version features cauliflower. Cauliflower has a milder flavor and a softer texture when mashed compared to potatoes.
