COTTAGE PIE

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 tbsp olive oil
1 ¼kg beef mince
2 onions, finely chopped
3 carrots, chopped
3 celery sticks, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tbsp plain flour
1 tbsp tomato purée
large glass red wine (optional)
850ml beef stock
4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
few thyme sprigs
2 bay leaves
1.8kg potatoes, chopped
225ml milk
25g butter
200g strong cheddar, grated
freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan and fry 1¼ kg beef mince until browned - you may need to do this in batches. Set aside as it browns.
  • Put the other 2 tbsp olive oil into the pan, add 2 finely chopped onions, 3 chopped carrots and 3 chopped celery sticks and cook on a gentle heat until soft, about 20 mins.
  • Add 2 finely chopped garlic cloves, 3 tbsp plain flour and 1 tbsp tomato purée, increase the heat and cook for a few mins, then return the beef to the pan.
  • Pour over a large glass of red wine, if using, and boil to reduce it slightly before adding the 850ml beef stock, 4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, a few thyme sprigs and 2 bay leaves.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 45 mins. By this time the gravy should be thick and coating the meat. Check after about 30 mins - if a lot of liquid remains, increase the heat slightly to reduce the gravy a little. Season well, then discard the bay leaves and thyme stalks.
  • Meanwhile, make the mash. In a large saucepan, cover the 1.8kg potatoes which you've peeled and chopped, in salted cold water, bring to the boil and simmer until tender.
  • Drain well, then allow to steam-dry for a few mins. Mash well with the 225ml milk, 25g butter, and three-quarters of the 200g strong cheddar cheese, then season with freshly grated nutmeg and some salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the meat into 2 ovenproof dishes. Pipe or spoon on the mash to cover. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
  • If eating straight away, heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and cook for 25-30 mins, or until the topping is golden.
  • If you want to use a slow cooker, brown your mince in batches then tip into your slow cooker and stir in the vegetables, flour, purée, wine, stock, Worcestershire sauce and herbs with some seasoning. Cover and cook on High for 4-5 hours. Make the mash following the previous steps, and then oven cook in the same way to finish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right mince: Beef mince is the traditional choice for cottage pie, but you can also use lamb mince, pork mince, or a mixture of meats. If you're using a lean mince, add some extra fat, such as butter or olive oil, to the pan when you're browning it.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're browning the mince, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the mince from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Season the mince well: Don't be afraid to season the mince well with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Use a good quality stock: The stock you use for the gravy will make a big difference to the flavor of the cottage pie. Use a good quality stock, such as homemade stock or a low-sodium store-bought stock.
  • Don't skimp on the vegetables: The vegetables in the cottage pie add flavor, texture, and nutrients. Don't skimp on the vegetables, and make sure they're cooked until they're tender.
  • Use a creamy mashed potato topping: The mashed potato topping is the perfect finishing touch for cottage pie. Make sure the mashed potatoes are creamy and smooth, and that they're well-seasoned.

Conclusion:

Cottage pie is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and delicious to eat. With a few simple tips, you can make a cottage pie that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give cottage pie a try. You won't be disappointed.
