I followed the recipe for everything except the green peas coz I do not have them on hand. I use a bigger onion instead. I forgot to dot extra butter on top but it still came out crisp with adequately brown. There are many variations of the recipe, but the defining ingredients include minced or ground beef with onions (and sometimes other vegetables) in.

Cottage Pie how to cook:

Peel the potatoes and put them in a saucepan with water and a pinch of salt, and boil. This should take about 30-40 minutes..
While the potatoes are cooking, add the oil and butter to a saucepan on a medium/high heat, and once the oil starts sizzling - add the mince and break it all apart so all the meat in separated. Fry until browned and the liquid fat has been cooked off. Add the peas..
To check the potatoes are cooked, try and pick one up by stabbing it with a knife. If it falls off the knife with ease, the potatoes are done. Drain and mash, gradually adding milk, butter and cream where necessary. Add the salt, pepper and nutmeg... mash until there are no lumps..
In a large oven dish, spread the mince filling across the bottom, until level. Repeat with the mash. Top with the cheese and bake in a preheated oven (150°C) until the cheese is golden brown. Serve immediately with gravy and savoy cabbage..

This is a meat and carb heavy dish, so it goes really well with fresh side salads like a Rocket Salad with Balsamic Dressing, or a Garden Salad with French or Italian Dressing. 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 Sautéed. A traditional cottage pie is made with ground beef and topped with mashed potatoes. We used potato slices, which saves time and looks good, too.
