Here is my spin on the classic Shepherd's Pie... Well really Cottage Pie, because it has ground beef instead of ground lamb... And I decided to be a little creative and use purple potatoes instead of the traditional Yukon potatoes. This is one of my favorite dishes! 😄

Steps

1 hour 20 mins

1

Preheat oven to 375°F.
2

In a deep sauce pan add in butter and oil on medium heat.
3

Add in the onions, garlic, and beef, and saute for 10 minutes until beef is cooked through.
4

Add in flour and mix; the flour will absorb the extra moisture to create a gravy later.
5

Cook for another 3-4 minutes to cook off the flours raw edge and add in the below seasoning ingredients.
6

Add in broth, cook and stir until sauce has thicken (about 5 minutes).
7

Stir in frozen veggies, and remove from heat.
8

Add meat and veggie filling into a baking dish... Be sure to flatten your meat mixture in the dish.
9

Meanwhile boil your potatoes until fork tender.
10

Then add in butter, heavy cream, cheese, seasoning, & egg yoke. Mash and mix well.
11

Using a large spoon, place dollops of potatoes over your meat filling, then using a fork, gently spread potatoes evenly across the meat filling. Doing it this way will help from pulling the meat up & mixing it into the potato crust.
12

Bake in oven for 30 minutes until the sides have brown.
13

Remove baking dish from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
