Cottage Pie



















You could easily halve this recipe but we like to have lots of leftovers.

2 lbs grass fed ground beef
2 10 oz pkges of frozen vegetables (we use peas and corn)
1 onion chopped
4 cloves of garlic pressed
3 TBLSP corn starch in 4 ounces of water (or other thickener)
1/2 cup liquid of choice (red wine, chicken or beef stock, coconut milk)
Dill and oregano, salt and pepper to taste
6-8 potatoes
liquid for making mashed potatoes (chicken stock, potato water, almond milk)

Boil potatoes with peel on until soft. Mash and add liquid to make potatoes to the consistency you prefer.

Preheat to 450.
Brown ground beef.
Remove from pan. Saute onion and garlic, add vegetables until ice melts. Pour veggie mix into the meat. Deglaze pan with wine or other liquid. Add water to the corn starch and add to pan. Simmer until thickened. Combine sauce, meat/veggie mixture and spices. Halve the mixture and fill two pie pans. Spread mashed potatoes on top. Bake until brown.

  1. AWESOME! We had this tonight and it was a hit! I added about 10 ounces of steamed carrots, used only one pound of ground beef and used one can of coconut milk with one Tbsp of corn starch to thicken for the gravy. It was PERFECT! Thanks for posting this!
