Steps to make Cottage Pie:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a deep sauce pan add in butter and oil on medium heat.
- Add in the onions, garlic, and beef, and saute for 10 minutes until beef is cooked through.
- Add in flour and mix; the flour will absorb the extra moisture to create a gravy later.
- Cook for another 3-4 minutes to cook off the flours raw edge and add in the below seasoning ingredients.
- Add in broth, cook and stir until sauce has thicken (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in frozen veggies, and remove from heat.
- Add meat and veggie filling into a baking dish… Be sure to flatten your meat mixture in the dish.
- Meanwhile boil your potatoes until fork tender.
- Then add in butter, heavy cream, cheese, seasoning, & egg yoke. Mash and mix well.
- Using a large spoon, place dollops of potatoes over your meat filling, then using a fork, gently spread potatoes evenly across the meat filling. Doing it this way will help from pulling the meat up & mixing it into the potato crust.
- Bake in oven for 30 minutes until the sides have brown.
- Remove baking dish from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
There are many variations of the recipe, but the defining ingredients include minced or ground beef with onions (and sometimes other vegetables) in. 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.
