My Big Cottage Pie 😁 instructions

1. Add oil to the pan then add onions after 2 minutes add the minced beef. And cook until all meat is coloured.
2. Add more Black pepper and the 3 beef stock cubes and boiling water add the peas and 2 tbls Balsamic vinegar. Mix bring to boil and simmer for 20 minutes..
3. Add the diced small carrots..
4. When the potatoes are cooked strain them then mash add butter and milk and they should be nice and creamy. Set aside..
5. Preheat the oven on 180°C. Thicken the meat with cornflour in a little water. It does need to be thick so the mashed potatoe sits on top..
6. Add the meat mix to a large ovenproof dish greased which is about 3 inch depth. Leave the meat to cool right down in the ovendish. My dish size is about 8 x 6 inch. If its too much just half the ingredients..
7. Potatoes all creamy and cooling down. Just spoon the potatoes in the 4 corners of the meat dish then opposite sides then fill it all in by gently pulling the mash over the lot. Then when its done using a fork run it along the length lifting bits up so they go nice and crisp on top. Also add a little salt..
8. Oben bake for 20 minutes.

The mashed potatoes soak up all the juice and taste so wonderful.. Irish Style Cottage Pie recipe: This is also known as Shepherd's Pie, though this version doesn't have any lamb due to family preferences, leaving the shepherds out of the equation. Some or all of the ground beef can be substituted for ground lamb if desired. The meat filling can be made ahead of time and combined with the potatoes on the day of serving. Being from Australia, cottage pie is a favourite when it comes to comfort food for the family.
