Classic cottage pie recipe

Cottage pie is one of the classic British dishes. It's known as a hearty, filling and warming dish, and while it's often thought of as a winter dish, it's perfect any time of year.

A filling of ground beef, onions, carrots and garlic is topped with creamy mashed potatoes and shredded cheese for a fluffy topping with a crunchy finish. This recipe is great for leftover mashed potatoes, and if you have an extra Sunday roast, feel free to substitute ground beef for it.
