Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion
• 2 medium carrots
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 cup cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the potatoes into even-sized chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooking, dice the onion and carrots. Set them aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and carrots to the skillet, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste, all-purpose flour, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well to coat the beef and vegetables.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring. Add the frozen peas, salt, pepper, and paprika. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly. Set aside.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return to the pot. Add butter and milk, mashing until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

Transfer the beef mixture to a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

Step 10

Spread the mashed potatoes over the meat mixture, using a spatula to create an even layer. If desired, sprinkle cheddar cheese on top.

Step 11

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 12

Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade Cottage Potato Pie!
