a classic British dish made with minced meat, usually beef, that is topped with mashed potatoes and baked in the oven
What is "cottage pie"?
Cottage pie is a hearty and comforting dish that originated in the United Kingdom. It typically consists of a base layer of cooked minced beef, which is mixed with vegetables such as onions, carrots, and peas, and then topped with a layer of creamy mashed potatoes. The dish is traditionally made with leftovers, making it a great way to use up leftovers from a Sunday roast. The minced beef is typically seasoned with herbs and spices such as thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves, which lend a savory and aromatic flavor to the dish. Cottage pie is usually baked in the oven until the top layer of mashed potatoes is golden brown and crispy, and the filling is hot and bubbly.
