Cottage Pie

By Wewah

Ingredients

• 2 finely chopped onions
• 5 T. butter
• 1 T. vegetable oil
• 2 lbs. ground beef
• 1/2 c. beef stock (may need more)
• 2 T. ketchup
• 1 t. Worcestershire sauce (or more if desired)
• S & P
• 1/3 c. milk
• 1 can succotash, drained
• 2 lbs. mashed potatoes
• Optional: sweet corn or baked beans

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven 400 degrees

Boil the potatoes until done, about 20 minutes, and mash them.

Cook the onions in 1 T of the butter and 1 T. oil until soft. Add the meat and cook until lightly brown. Stir in the stock, ketchup, succotash, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt & pepper.

Beat the remaining melted butter and the milk into the potatoes. Put the meat in a greased ovenproof dish, cover with potato and ripple the top with a fork.

Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is crusty and golden.

Add a layer of sweet corn or baked beans (preferably Heinz or Bachelor’s Baked Beans from the UK) between the meat and potato layer for a bit of interest.
