I recently served it with this Carrot Salad with a Honey Dijon Dressing which was a hit!. For a cosy meal on a cold winter night, try it with a side of Glazed Roasted Carrots and SautΓ©ed. I elevated my cottage pie just a little bit by asking the butcher at my supermarket to grind short ribs for me instead of picking up the usual ground chuck or sirloin. That little luxury that paid off big time in flavor.
Instructions to make My Big Cottage Pie π:
- Add oil to the pan then add onions after 2 minutes add the minced beef. And cook until all meat is coloured
- 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.
- Add the diced small carrots.
- When the potatoes are cooked strain them then mash add butter and milk and they should be nice and creamy. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven on 180Β°C. Thicken the meat with cornflour in a little water. It does need to be thick so the mashed potatoe sits on top.
- 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.
- 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.
- Oben bake for 20 minutes
In fact I'm now officially obsessed with ground short ribs, and I'm already planning an epic burger post, so stay tuned.. Drain potatoes; mash with milk and butter. Spread over meat mixture; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Place pie plate on a foil-lined baking sheet (plate will be full). Serve my Super-Easy Cottage Pie with some freshly cooked veggies, like broccoli, carrots and green beans or why not carb-load with some buttery garlic bread!
