To get started with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can cook cottage pie using 9 ingredients and 15 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Cottage Pie:

1. Get sliced mushrooms
2. Get zucchini
3. Make ready cream of mushroom soup
4. Prepare Onion
5. Prepare Garlic
6. Get Cheddar Cheese
7. Prepare Olive oil
8. Take Instant mashed potatoes
9. Prepare Lean ground Beef

I use a bigger onion instead. I forgot to dot extra butter on top, but it still came out crisp with adequately brown. A traditional cottage pie is made with ground beef and topped with mashed potatoes. We used potato slices, which saves time and looks good, too.

Steps to make Cottage Pie:

1. Preheat oven to 375
2. Chop garlic, onion, and zucchini.
3. Heat olive oil in pan, when hot add garlic. Sautee for 3 min.
4. Add chopped onion to garlic. Sautee until onion is caramelized. Add extra olive oil if needed.
5. Add slicedushrooms to sauteed onion and garlic. I love mushrooms so I add the entire package otherwise add 1/2 package. Add olive oil as needed - Sautee untill mushrooms are caramelized.
6. Put sauteed vege's aside into baking dish. Using the same pan, cook ground beef until pink is gone. Drain out juices.
7. When ground beef is done, add to baking dish.
8. If you want to add other veggies (ie. green beans, etc) add to baking dish now.
9. Pour contents of mushroom soup over contents of baking dish. Stir well.
10. I like cheese so I put 1/2 cup of cheese over mixture. You can omit.
11. Cook mashed potatoes according to package directions. If there are 2 packages of instant mashed potatoes in box, I use both. Can never have too much potatoes. Add to the top of mixture.
12. Bake uncovered for 30 mins in the oven or until potatoes are brown. You can add cheese to the top about 15 mins until done.
13. ** You can add chopped bacon and/or chives and sprinkle over potatoes before serving. Best to serve with bread.
14. ** Add salt and black pepper according to taste.
15. Serve with bread and green salad. Or not.

For a shepherd's pie, use lamb. There are many variations of the recipe, but the defining ingredients include minced or ground beef with onions (and sometimes other vegetables) in. This is a meat and carb heavy dish, so it goes really well with fresh side salads like a Rocket Salad with Balsamic Dressing, or a Garden Salad with French or Italian Dressing. I recently served it with this Carrot Salad with a Honey Dijon Dressing which was a hit!. For a cosy meal on a cold winter night, try it with a side of Glazed Roasted Carrots and Sautéed.
