Cottage Pie Spices
This traditional english dish is a close relative to shepherd s pie only it s made with beef instead of lamb.
Cottage pie spices. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 20 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown. The hearty filling is then topped with fluffy mashed potatoes sprinkled with cheddar cheese and baked.
Place pie plate on a foil lined baking sheet plate will be full. For a cosy meal on a cold winter night try it with a side of glazed roasted carrots and sautéed. Transfer meat mixture into a greased 9 in.
Preheat oven to 400. 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. Stir in 1 2 cup cheese salt and pepper.
Recipe is from my sis in law ellen who happens to be married to an englishman. Add ground beef herbes de provence and nutmeg. Defrost in the fridge overnight then cook as per the recipe.
What goes with cottage pie. After thanksgiving i love to use leftover mashed potatoes and even turkey to make this cottage pie recipe. Juicy slow cooked meat good quality gravy and crisp well seasoned mash.
Make sure the pie is completely cold then cover it well with cling film and freeze. Always freeze the pie on the day that you make it. Would you look at that bubbly brown cheesy crust.
