Cottage Pie

I'm a foodie, a chowhound, a gastronaut, and I love to cook!

Delicious!! I had lamb so it was a shepherds pie and I was too impatient to let the lamb brown but it was still delicious! I didn’t have any carrots so had to add about 3 tsp sugar to balance out the flavour.

1 ½ tbsp olive oil

2 garlic cloves , minced

1 onion , finely chopped

1 carrot , finely chopped*

1 rib celery , finely chopped*

750 g / 1.5 lb ground beef (mince)

3 tbsp flour

3 tbsp tomato paste

2 cups / 500 ml beef stock / broth (500 ml)

½ cup / 125 ml red wine (125 ml) (optional - can omit)

1 beef bouillon cube , crumbled

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp dried thyme or 3 sprigs fresh thyme

2 dried bay leaves

subheading: Topping:

1.2 kg / 2.5 lb potatoes , peeled and cut into 2.5cm / 1" cubes

½ cup / 125 ml milk (125 ml)

2 tbsp / 30g butter

Nutmeg (optional)
