Classic Cottage Pie

It’s a cold grey weekend and we were in need of comfort food this Sunday. I’ve made a classic cottage pie (with child approved veg) and an apple crumble and custard. If the weather feels like autumn, today I’ll cook autumn dishes! (But I hope Spring comes back next week)

Cottage pie traditionally uses minced beef and white potato mash but this version uses minced turkey (or chicken or pork!) and sweet potato. It's a great, hearty meal for all the family. Kids love it as it has a sweeter taste than cottage pie Vicky@Jacks Free-From Cookbook -

I always called this shepherd’s pie but technically it’s not shepherd’s pie because there’s no lamb in it. This is my version of cottage pie with ground beef, sausage, and vegetables. I serve it in individual ramekins that are deep, topped with my homemade mashed potatoes but it can be put into one dish and then served in individual portions. fenway -
