Both boast a crust of mashed potatoes, but a Cottage Pie uses ground beef in the filling, while a Shepherd's Pie relies on ground lamb. 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.

Instructions to make Cottage Pie Meal:

1. Put the rice in a pot, covered in 400ml water. Add the turmeric and stick cinnamon (with some salt to taste) and allow it to cook until ready.
2. Put the peeled and chopped Butternut and carrots in a mini pot and cover with water (with some salt to taste) and cook until veggies are soft enough to be poked with a fork.
3. Peel and chop up the potatoes and follow the same procedure as mentioned above.
4. Rinse the mince and place it in a pirex/glass dish. Add the chopped onion and green pepper and then add the egg. Add bread crumbs and thereafter mix thoroughly adding spices as desired.
5. Use a tblsp of oil to line the pie dish around the ends of the pie so that it doesn't turn dry whilst in the oven.
6. Place the cottage pie in the oven and allow to cook until mince is brown.
7. Once rice is done place it in a strainer and rinse with clean cold water. Once that is done, sprinkle rice with 3 tblsp of sugar and ensure that sugar is evenly distributed.
8. Once veggies are soft enough to be poked with a fork remove them from the stove and place in another strainer, rinse with cold water and follow the same procedure as mentioned above.
9. Once potatoes are soft, take it off the stove. Rinse with cold water and place it back onto the stove. Add the butter and milk and mash it with a fork. Do add some peri-peri spice/fisherman spice to give the mash some flavour.
10. Once the mince has browned in the oven cover the pie with the mash and decorate it with a fork. Sprinkle the mixed herbs over and place it back into the oven for approx. 10/15 minutes. When cottage pie is ready, the meal can be served as intended.

For this savory pie, ground beef, onions, veggies, herbs and spices marry perfectly: Everything is sauteed together and then combined with broth and tomato paste, and simmered until ready to pour into a prepared pie crust. The hearty filling is then topped with fluffy mashed potatoes, sprinkled with Cheddar cheese, and baked. Traditional cottage pie is a simple dish of ground beef (mince), onions and carrots in a flour-thickened gravy and topped with mashed potatoes. It takes ingredient subs and additions well and every home seems to have its own unique recipe. Cottage pie is the perfect meal because it combines meat, vegetables, and starch all in one dish.
