MY COTTAGE PIE (A.K.A. SHEPHERD'S PIE)
Cottage pie (which, unlike shepherd's pie which is made with lamb, is made with beef) has always been a favourite dish in our household. I'd make it with lamb, too, if I had it, but we always seem to have beef. Anyway, this is how it has evolved.

Steps:
- Scrub the potatoes and peel them if you wish--I don't.
- Cut them into chunks and boil them until tender.
- Meanwhile, peel and chop the onion.
- Peel and grate the carrot.
- Wash and chop the cabbage.
- In a large cast iron skillet, cook the ground beef until it is browned and no pink remains. Use the oil if the beef is very lean and inclined to stick.
- Remove it to a deep casserole using a slotted spoon.
- If there is more than a tablespoon of fat left in the skillet, drain most of it off.
- Sauté the onion in the remaining fat, then add the carrots, cabbage, and crushed tomatoes.
- Add all the seasonings and simmer until everything is getting soft--just a few minutes.
- Put the veg in the casserole and stir them up with the meat.
- Drain the potatoes and mash them with the butter and buttermilk.
- Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Spread these over the meat and veg mix in the casserole.
- Sprinkle a little paprika over top, if you like.
- This can be baked at once or refrigerated for up to 2 days (well sealed!). Bake at 350°F.
- The time will depend on whether it goes in hot or cold; 45 minutes if it goes in warm (at once) or 1 1/2 hours if it is chilled.

[email protected]This cottage pie recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef. I had some leftover roast beef and it worked perfectly in this recipe. The cottage pie was delicious and my family loved it. I'll definitely be making this recipe again.

[email protected]I found this recipe to be too complicated. There were too many steps and ingredients involved. I ended up simplifying the recipe and it turned out just as good, if not better. I'll be sticking to my simplified version from now on.

[email protected]This cottage pie was a bit of a disappointment. The filling was bland and the mashed potato topping was dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this recipe again.
