Easy Cottage Pie Recipe

Cottage pie is a traditional British dish comprising ground beef and vegetables cooked in a gravy, and topped with mashed potato.

To make the sauce, firstly you fry up the vegetables until soft, add the garlic and herbs and then brown the beef. Then add in the remaining ingredients, bring it to the boil and let it bubble away, so the beef absorbs all the flavors and the gravy thickens.

MAKING MASHED POTATO

Meanwhile you make the mashed potatoes: Remember, when you cook potatoes, you cook them starting in cold, salted water.

Tip your meat sauce into a baking dish, add the mashed potato on top and smooth it down. Bake in the oven for around 25-30 minutes, until it is nicely browned.
