Ingredients

• 500 g Ground beef
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 medium Carrots
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 250 ml Beef stock
• 100 g Frozen peas
• 800 g Potatoes
• 50 g Butter
• 100 ml Milk
• 100 g Cheddar cheese
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot of salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion and carrots. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Add the onion, carrots, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened.

Step 5

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spoon.

Step 6

Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste. Mix well to coat the beef and vegetables.

Step 7

Pour in the beef stock and allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced slightly. Stir in the frozen peas and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 9

Drain the cooked potatoes and mash them with the butter, milk, and half of the grated cheddar cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Transfer the beef mixture to a baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 11

Top the beef mixture with the mashed potatoes, spreading them out in an even layer. Use a fork to create ridges on the surface for a decorative touch.

Step 12

Sprinkle the remaining grated cheddar cheese on top of the mashed potatoes.

Step 13

Bake the cottage pie in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Cottage Pie Vi!
