Ingredients
Potato Topping
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes peeled and quartered
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup butter
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
Meat Filling
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 large carrots peeled and diced
- 2 celery stalk diced
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 ½ tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
- 1 cup frozen peas
Instructions
- Cook the potatoes. Place the potatoes in a pot on the stove and cover with cold water. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Cook for 13-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft when pierced with a fork.
- Mash the potatoes. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then return to the pot. Add the cheese, milk, butter, salt and pepper and mash until creamy.
- Saute the onion and garlic. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit (200 celsius). In a large oven-safe saute pan, heat the oil on medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute for a minute.
- Add more veggies and meat. Add the diced carrots, diced celery, and beef. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the meat is browned. Use your spatula to break up the meat while cooking.
- Add the flavor. Drain any fat from the pan and add the broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the sauce is slightly thickened.
- Add the peas. Add the frozen peas and stir together. Turn off the stove and use the back of your spatula to flatten the meat mixture into a single layer in the pan.
- Top with mashed potatoes. Dollop the cheesy mashed potatoes on top of the meat and use a spoon or spatula to spread it flat to the edges. If desired, create texture in the potato topping with a spoon or fork.
- Bake. Bake the cottage pie until slightly golden, about 25 to 30 minutes. You can broil the top for 1 to 2 minutes as well.

Notes
- Use fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and not grated parmesan for the best flavor. Alternatively, you could use a sharp white cheddar cheese.
