Cottage Pie Ingredients

Method

Cottage Pie Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Filling

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced celery, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in the corn, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Pie

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the beef mixture to a baking dish. Spread the prepared mashed potatoes evenly on top of the beef mixture.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
