Last night I made Cottage Pie (I'd normally call it shepherds pie but apprently its only SHepherd if it contains Lamb...mine did not contain lamb therefore it is COttage pie)
It was SO GOOD, and Luke loved it too...not TOO terribly unhealthy with all the veggies....I served it with mac & cheese so that was probably not the best idea nutritionally but tasted wonderful! Here is what I did
Ingrediants:
1 lb ground hamburger
1 pckg frozen mixed veggies (I used carrots, corn & peas)
1 chopped onion
1 chopped bell pepper
1 pckg brown gravy mix
splash of worstershire sauce
splash (probably 1/4 cup) ketchup
about 3/4 cup -1 1/2 cup beef broth
large helping of mashed potatoes (I used red potatoes...love them) - mash with butter, sourcream salt & pepper to taste
about 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
Boil the potatoes until soft, (8-10 minutes)
Meanwhile brown ground beef with onion and bell pepper until no longer pink
Thaw frozen veggies in the microwave then add to the meat stir
Add worstershire sauce & ketchup, stir
Add beef broth & brown gravy mix
Stir and simmer about 4 minutes
Mash potatoes with the butter & sour cream (I used my mixer to make the smooth) salt & pepper to taste
Pour meat mixture into greased casserole dish then carefully spoon mashed potatoes over the meat mixture and smooth out with fork (Make designs in the potatoes with peaks if you wish, the peaks will brown beautifully) then place in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes
Remove and cover the top with shredded cheese bake another 10 minutes or until cheese is melty.
SO good! Serve with Mac& cheese, Green means or a hung of crusty bread!
