The verdict from my family was this was a confused pie! It was crying out for a pastry pie top not mashed potato. They all loved the filling and sauce but the potato let it down. I'll try it again with a puff pastry top.

Can the sauce/mixture be frozen after the cream is added?

Thanks for your question. Yes this recipe can be frozen either before or after baking.

Made this tonight and it was delish. I used chicken breasts, red onion, garlic, carrot's, peas and fresh basil. The basil added a lovely flavour. I didn't use cream in the mashed potatoes. Just used milk. This definitely was not bland. The fresh basil makes this dish..
