Cottage Pie

This is the kind of British dinner you’ll make on repeat — ground beef and yellow onion, 75 minutes, big payoff.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Ground beef
• 1 Yellow onion
• 2 Carrots
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2.5 lb Russet potatoes
• 4 tbsp Butter

Steps

1. Brown the beef hard in a wide skillet, breaking it into small crumbles. Deep browning is the difference between rich and gray.
2. Add the diced onion and carrots, cook 5 minutes, then the tomato paste for 2 minutes. Pour in the broth and Worcestershire, simmer 10 minutes, and stir in the peas.
3. Mash the boiled potatoes with butter and warm milk until fluffy. Season well.
4. Spread the beef in a baking dish, top with mash, and fork-rake the surface into ridges.
5. Bake at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and bubbling. Rest 10 minutes before serving — the filling sets and the slices hold.
