I have made a Cottage Pie from beef mince, which was frozen then defrosted. Is it safe to re-heat this meal after 24hours and eat it?

Hello Janet, your Cottage Pie with mince from frozen should be perfectly safe to re-heat but do ensure it is piping hot! Also, it is important to store your pie in the fridge between meals and to always keep an airtight lid on the pie even when it is in the fridge!
