Cottage Pie Aka Shepherds Pie Recipe

	Tillia / All my dishes 1 year, 9 months ago You can make this dish any size you choose, and alter the veggies or even the meat type. I discovered through my Dad, that Shepard's Pie uses Lamb, Cottage Pie uses Beef. I don't know what you would call it if you use Poultry! Any Suggestions? Prep:10m Cook:20m Servings:0	Tillia

Ingredients

* I wrote this w/ these amounts, but it can easily be scaled up or down depending on your needs. I have made it w/ as little as a beef pattie and some leftover potatoes.

-2 Lb Ground Meat...Beef, Lamb, Poultry

-1 Lb Mashed Potatoes

-Oil of choice to thinly coat pan

-1 C Fine dice Mirepoix (celery, onion, carrot)

-2 T Flour

-3/4 C Stock to match meat. I use Kitchen Basics Stock and freeze

the leftovers in ice cube trays, then package in bags.

-1 C Frozen petite peas

-1 C Frozen white shoepeg corn

-1 T Herbs de Provence (Tarragon, Basil, Savory, Thyme, Fennel,

Lavender) Make a mix or buy or use fresh if you can.

- S& P to taste...I use Crazy Janes Mixed up Salt. I like salt,

so I cannot give amounts.

-Hot pepper /Flakes to taste, May Omit

-Butter

MAKE LIFE AND COOKING EASY... I buy pre- packaged Mirepoix.. a 1 C package is $2.00. No separate purchases, No work for me. A convenience yes, but also a $ & time saver. For me to buy an onion, a bag of carrots, and celery costs approx. $3-5. The salad bar isn't always a reliable, cheap choice. Then I still have to process it. I cook for one. But I freeze and do share w/ friends and Family.

As for the Broth/Flour mix... use your judgement, more of each will make more gravy..see what you like.

Directions

-Peel potatoes, make your favorite mashed potato recipe.

-AFTER potatoes begin boiling, start w/ the meat. Mash your

potatoes inbetween working on the meat mixture.

-Coat bottom of skillet w/ oil. Add meat, & mirepoix.

-After meat meat is brown, add flour, stir well.

-Turn on oven to 350.

-Add broth, stir well. Turn down heat.

-Add Herbs, S&P, stir well.

-Turn off heat, add frozen veggies.

-Put meat mixture in a casserole dish. Place Mashed potatoes on

top.

-Place in oven till the potatoes begin to set and get crusty. 20 min.

-Brush or Spray w/ butter. Bake till Golden Brown.

How about farm yard pie?
love cottage/Shepard's pies although I cheat and cook the meat and veg on the stove, thicken it with some cornflower and then pop it in a casserole dish smooth over the potatoes grate some cheese on top and pop it under the grill
