Fancied Up Cottage Pie
2 pounds ground beef (or lamb, if this'll be shepherd's pie)
1 very large carrot, diced
1 medium onion, diced
some garlic, minced
1 can diced tomatoes
quarter cup red wine
a few dashes worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoon flour
half package frozen corn
Enough whole mealy potatoes to fill half the roasting pan at one layer deep
50 grams butter
1 pint milk
Boil the potatoes until they're about to fall apart (20 minutes or so). Drain. Add butter. Mash. Add milk. Mash some more. Keep mashing until it turns into mashed potatoes.
Brown the ground beef, drain. Cook the onion and carrot in the same pan. Put the ground beef back in. Add garlic, diced tomatoes. Cook some more. Add red wine, worcestershire sauce, flour. Mix it all together.
Put ground beef mixture in the bottom of the roasting pan. Make the top surface flat. Cover with a layer of corn. Put mashed potatoes on top. Flatten the top surface again.
Bake at ~170 C for 20 minutes. (Everything is already cooked, so this is mostly just to brown the top of the mashed potatoes.)
Let it cool for 20 minutes before cutting into it to eat.
The ingredient measurements don't need to be exact.
It's still called shepherd's pie here even when made with beef. The comfort food version doesn't have veggies in it, but all the online recipes I found included some, so I did too. I also added red wine, which makes it really taste fancy.
