I followed the recipe for everything except the green peas coz I do not have them on hand. I use a bigger onion instead. I forgot to dot extra butter on top but it still came out crisp with adequately brown. There are many variations of the recipe, but the defining ingredients include minced or ground beef with onions (and sometimes other vegetables) in.
Instructions to make Cottage Pie:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a deep sauce pan add in butter and oil on medium heat.
- Add in the onions, garlic, and beef, and saute for 10 minutes until beef is cooked through.
- Add in flour and mix; the flour will absorb the extra moisture to create a gravy later.
- Cook for another 3-4 minutes to cook off the flours raw edge and add in the below seasoning ingredients.
- Add in broth, cook and stir until sauce has thicken (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in frozen veggies, and remove from heat.
- Add meat and veggie filling into a baking dish… Be sure to flatten your meat mixture in the dish.
- Meanwhile boil your potatoes until fork tender.
- Then add in butter, heavy cream, cheese, seasoning, & egg yoke. Mash and mix well.
- Using a large spoon, place dollops of potatoes over your meat filling, then using a fork, gently spread potatoes evenly across the meat filling. Doing it this way will help from pulling the meat up & mixing it into the potato crust.
- Bake in oven for 30 minutes until the sides have brown.
- Remove baking dish from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
This is a meat and carb heavy dish, so it goes really well with fresh side salads like a Rocket Salad with Balsamic Dressing, or a Garden Salad with French or Italian Dressing. I recently served it with this Carrot Salad with a Honey Dijon Dressing which was a hit!. For a cosy meal on a cold winter night, try it with a side of Glazed Roasted Carrots and Sautéed. Cottage pie is a meat pie that is topped with mashed potatoes and baked in the oven. Now, cottage pie and shepherd's pie differ only in the type of ground meat they are made with.
