Cottage Pie

A hearty and comforting pie made with layers of seasoned ground beef, peas, and creamy mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

  • Yukon Gold potatoes (4 large)
  • butter (6 tablespoons)
  • garlic (1 clove)
  • salt (0 )
  • pepper (0 )
  • olive oil (1 tablespoon)
  • lean ground beef (1 pound)
  • herbes de Provence (1 tablespoon)
  • ground nutmeg (1 teaspoon)
  • frozen peas (1.5 cups)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 inch deep-dish pie plate.
  2. Place potatoes into a pot; cover with salted water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover; simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain; mash with 2 tablespoons of the butter and the garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, herbes de Provence, and nutmeg; cook and stir until beef is lightly brown and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Spread the beef evenly in the prepared pie plate. Cover evenly with the peas; spread the mashed potatoes over the peas. Dot the casserole with the remaining butter.
  4. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until heated through and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
