Cottage Pie

Ingredients

• •2 tablespoons olive oil
• •1 large onion, diced
• •2 cloves garlic, minced
• •1 pound ground beef
• •1 cup diced carrots
• •1 cup diced celery
• •2 cups beef broth (gluten-free)
• •2 tablespoons tomato paste
• •2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
• •4 tablespoons butter
• •½ cup milk
• •1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• •to taste Salt and pepper

Directions

1. 1Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with butter and milk until creamy.
2. 2Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion, garlic, carrots, and celery for 5 minutes until softened.
3. 3Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
4. 4Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Pour in beef broth and simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
5. 5Transfer beef mixture to a baking dish. Spread mashed potatoes evenly over the top and sprinkle with cheese.
6. 6Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden and bubbling around the edges. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

💡 Cottage-pie filling should be thick before mashed potatoes go on top; a loose gravy bubbles through and makes the potato layer watery.
