Hey everyone, I hope you are having an amazing day today. Today, we’re going to prepare a special dish, cottage pie. It is one of my favorites food recipes. This time, I’m gonna make it a bit tasty. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

Make sure the pie is completely cold, then cover it well with cling film and freeze. Always freeze the pie on the day that you make it. Defrost in the fridge overnight, then cook as per the recipe.

Cottage Pie is one of the most favored of recent trending foods on earth. It’s enjoyed by millions every day. It’s easy, it’s fast, it tastes yummy. They are fine and they look fantastic. Cottage Pie is something which I’ve loved my entire life.

To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can have cottage pie using 10 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Cottage Pie:

1. Take 400 g minced beef
2. Get 1 onion
3. Get 1/2 celery
4. Take 200 ml soup stock
5. Prepare 1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
6. Prepare Salt and pepper
7. Take 4 potatoes
8. Prepare 100 ml milk
9. Make ready 50 g butter or margarine
10. Get salt and pepper

I use a bigger onion instead. I forgot to dot extra butter on top but it still came out crisp with adequately brown. 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!.

Steps to make Cottage Pie:

1. Preheat the oven at 180°C/350°F. Chop the onion and celery into small pieces. Peel the potatoes and cut into small pieces to boil until they become soft.
2. To make the mash potatoes, first put the milk, butter or margarine, salt and pepper into a small pot and mix well until the butter has melted into a sauce. Then add the boiled potatoes and mash until the texture is smooth and creamy.
3. Fry and brown the minced meat in a frying pan, add the chopped vegetables and fry for a min or two on a medium heat. Then add the soup stock, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper and simmer for 3 min.
4. Put the cooked minced meat into a oven proof dish and spread the mash potatoes over the mince as evenly as possible. Finally, bake in the oven for 30 min or until the mash potato has browned. Enjoy this dish piping hot!

For a cosy meal on a cold winter night, try it with a side of Glazed Roasted Carrots and Sautéed. There are many variations of the recipe, but the defining ingredients include minced or ground beef with onions (and sometimes other vegetables) in. 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.
