Classic Shepherd's (Cottage) Pie

There's nothing more comforting and classic than a homemade shepherd's, or in this case, a cottage pie. Delicious ground beef topped with fluffy mashed potatoes. Grab a spoon and dig in.

Potatoes

Ground Beef

Onion

Corn

Salt

Garlic Powder

Flour

Carrots Celery

Vegetable Stock

In a large skillet or frying pan, sauté the onions, carrots, and celery until fragrant and the onions become translucent.

To the same pan, and in the ground beef and let it brown. Continue to cook the ground beef and add in the corn.

Pour in the water or stock and stir in the flour to thicken the meat mixture. Let simmer on low to thicken, stirring occasionally.

Pour the meat mixture into a cast iron skillet or oven-safe casserole dish and evenly distribute so there is an even layer of meat.

Add a few dollops of mashed potatoes on top, then smooth out with a spatula. Sprinkle some paprika on top and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top of the mashed potatoes is a golden brown and slightly crisp.
