The weather is getting colder and I’m looking for hot dishes. One of my favorites: Shepherd’s Pie. It’s called both Shepherd’s and Cottage pie, It’s Sheperd’s if you’re using minced lamb and often referred to Cottage pie if you’re using ground beef. You can prep this dish in 10 minutes.

Ingredients:

I mainly eye ball ingredients based on the size of the casserole dish I’m using. I’ve included rough estimates below.

For Meat Filling:
– Minced Lamb or Ground Beef | 1 1/2 pounds roughly
– Onion | 1 Grated or Chopped
– Carrots | 1 large grated
– Garlic | 2 cloves grated or chopped
– Rosemary | 1/2 teaspoon
– Thyme | 1/2 teaspoon
– Tomato Sauce | 1 small can
– worcestershire sauce | few splashes to taste
– Red Wine | few splashes, to taste
– Chicken Stock | 1 cup
– Salt & Pepper | to taste

For Potatoes:
– Russet potatoes | 1 1/2 pounds
– Parmesian Cheese | Grate to taste
– Eggs | 2 yolks
– Salt & Pepper | to taste
