cottage pie
Mashed-topped meat dish
Cottage pie is a British dish of minced beef topped with mashed potato and baked until the surface browns.
The dish uses leftover or ground meat in gravy, covered with a layer of mashed potato that crisps in the oven.
When made with lamb instead of beef, the dish is called shepherd's pie, though the names are often used interchangeably.
