Traditional Cottage Pie
You can mix up the mash by adding parsnips, sweet potatoes or cauliflower. You can also use beef stock instead of red wine, I Iike that extra zinge so I prefer to use red wine instead to simmer the mince in.
Some of the ingredients are approximate, I don't really use measures in this recipe as you can add a few things and it'll still taste great. You can add celery and peas to the meat as well.
You can also reduce the heat and simmer it on low for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the meat has become really soft.
