Rebecca's Cottage Pie
Cottage pie traditionally uses mince beef and shepherds pie leftover lamb, I would call it Shepherds pie though!
I love one pot meals so hence the addition of the vegetables, again not very traditional. I added Worcestershire Sauce to it, love this stuff maybe I added a wee bit too much as Jasmine wasn't so keen. Can you believe this sauce has been made since 1897 its a British Classic.
Ingredients:
- one pack of lean minced beef
- one small onion chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic
- one cup mixed frozen vegetables
- 2 carrots chopped
- one cup of gravy
- 5 medium potatoes to make mashed potatoes
- 2-3 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
Method:
- boil the potatoes until soft mash them and keep to one side
- heat some olive oil and saute the onions, garlic and beef for 10 minutes
- then add the vegetables, sauce and gravy and simmer for about 20 minutes
- add the mashed potato to the top and bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes
Hubby liked it and took it to work and his colleagues approved I think they always sample what I cook!
there is my precious pot again!
So do you call it Shepherds pie or Cottage pie!
Lovely click rebecca...hope u had a great weekend..
ReplyDeleteyou make 'cottage pie' (which I too was raised to call shepherd's pie) very similar to how I make it. Yum!

ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! I also like to use Worcestershire to fry egg noodle. Thanks for reminding.
ReplyDeleteOh scrumptious.Shepherd's pie with lamb, cottage pie with beef - a staple here and always grand.
ReplyDeleteLove your le creuset pot! I love cottage pie - very delicious.
ReplyDeleteI love one pot meals too, Rebecca. Your cottage pie has all the ingredients we love. You just can't miss with those flavors and topped with taters. And I had it often when I visited GB.
ReplyDeleteI think I separate it from Shepherd's pie just because of the meat used.
Your Cottage pie looks wonderful! It reminds me of my chicken pie, I use mashed potatoes on the bottom crust, shredded chicken,frozen veggies and gravy, then top crust. That reminds me I need to make it again, but my daughter has been asking for me to make shepherds pie! We just don't eat minced beef much!
ReplyDeleteI would love some right now! I missed lunch!
I refer to it as Sheperd's pie. Either way, it looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a nice Easter!
Oh Rebecca, that cottage pie looks so scrumptious.
ReplyDeleteCottage pie? Sounds yummie and very soothing, great meal :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous. My mother in law made sheperd's pie for Easter. It was so good. I hope your weekend was fabulous!

ReplyDeleteNice Le Creuset ;) I love one pot meals, too - so easy, and they make clean-up a snap! I've never heard of Cottage Pie, but it looks darn tasty with those fluffy potatoes.

My favourite shepherds pie is made with left over roast beef which goes against all the rules of the pie naming! It's how my mum made it and we used to turn the handle of the mincer that was clamped to the edge of the breakfast bar! Funny how these memories come back with the mention of certain foods!
ReplyDeleteI make this same meal but with tomato soup as a binder. I think hubs would love the addition of gravy instead because he love mashed potatoes with beef gravy.
ReplyDeleteI love cottage/shepards pie! I made one this winter with acorn squash puree instead of potato. It was awesome, and a great way to lower the calories and boost the vitamins
