1-1/2 to 2 lbs. ground beef
16-oz. can Sloppy Joe sauce
14-oz. pkg. instant mashed potato flakes
1-1/2 c. shredded Cheddar or American cheese

Tips for Making the Best Cottage Pie:

- When choosing ground beef, opt for a blend with a higher fat content (at least 80/20) for a more flavorful pie. - Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to brown the beef and vegetables; this will prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking. - Season the beef and vegetables generously with salt and pepper, and add other herbs and spices to your taste. - Simmer the beef and vegetable mixture in a flavorful liquid, such as beef broth or Guinness, to infuse it with extra flavor. - Use a variety of vegetables in your cottage pie filling, such as carrots, celery, onions, and peas. - For a creamy and flavorful sauce, use a combination of milk, flour, and butter to make a roux. - Top the cottage pie with a layer of mashed potatoes, ensuring it is spread evenly and covers the filling completely. - Before baking, brush the top of the mashed potatoes with melted butter or an egg wash for a golden-brown crust. - Bake the cottage pie until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges. - Let the cottage pie cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
