Cottage pie is a comforting classic. Substitute ground lamb for the ground beef to make it a traditional shepherd’s pie. Any type of mashed potatoes could be used for the topping, so feel free to use your family’s favorite recipe with dairy, or a new recipe like these Turnip and Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Serve with a simple mixed green salad for a complete meal.

Great. Added some butter to the potatoes. We loved it. Took some prep time however. Recommend cutting veges and making potatoes ahead of time.

My family and I enjoyed this! I mashed the potatoes with butter and chicken broth, and used less garlic than the recipe called for. The meat mixture was easy to make and had the perfect texture. I made the casserole ahead of time for a busy day, then warmed it up in the microwave for a quick meal. It was delicious!

This is absolutely delicious! The filling is rich and the creaminess of the topping really balances it out. I did add salt to the filling and used milk and butter to make the potatoes. The only thing I would change next time is doubling the recipe so there are leftovers!
