Cottage Pie

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.

Remove cooked meat to a bowl. Add vegetables to pan and cook until softened. remove from heat. Add garlic and cook for one minute. Add red wine and cook for 5 minutes to remove alcohol.

* Step 2

Add in cooked meat, beef stock, Demi-glacé, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook to thicken to a sauce consistency, about 20 minutes. If needed you can add an equal parts slurry of corn starch and water (start with 1/2 tsp corn starch).
