- Ingredients:
- 13
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 226.79 g ground beef
- 4 medium potatoes (The meat portion should be about three quarters of the depth of the dish. The potato makes up the re)
- 1 cooking onion
- 2 medium carrots
- frozen peas
- 1 beef stock cube
- water
- 14.79 ml cooking oil
- 2 spring onions (scallion)
- 14.79 ml butter
- salt
- ground black pepper
- brown sauce (or A1 steak sauce which is similar, but is stronger and sharper)
directions
- Peel the potatoes and put them on to boil.
- Slice the carrots and spring onion.
- Fry the beef and the onions in a little oil. Add the salt, pepper and sauce to taste. (I use a lot of pepper and sauce because I like a strong kick).
- When the beef is brown add the stock cube and some water (not too much, just enough to keep the meat moist while it's in the oven).
- Mix the meat with the carrots and peas, then spread evenly in an ovenproof dish about 4 inches deep, filling to about 3/4 of the depth.
- Drain the potatoes and mash them with butter and mix in chopped spring onion.
- Spread this over the top of the meat. The pie should now be level with the top of the dish.
- Make pretty patterns with a fork.
- Put it in the oven on a medium heat until the top is brown (about 30 minutes usually).

We loved this cottage pie!! It was a great way to use up a lot of bits and pieces from the fridge, plus a few frozen veggies. Instead of ground beef I used ground turkey and added a little sage to the list. I also added some shredded sharp old cheddar cheese on top of the potatoes. I will be making this one again, thanks for posting.
