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.
