Cottage Pie

• Brown the hamburger in a skillet
• Once the burger is browned add diced onion to the skillet and cook until onion is tender
• Add peas to skillet along with spices, salt and pepper
• Wash your potatoes and peel them if you like
• Cook the potatoes your preferred way (I use an Instant Pot to steam them, they are perfect every time)
• While potatoes are cooking gently heat milk & butter in a small saucepan until butter is melted
• When potatoes are fully cooked, drain and place them back into the hot pot
• To the potatoes add the milk & butter mixture along with some salt & pepper to taste
• Mash the potatoes in your normal way (my guy doesn't mind lumps so I hand mash)

Assemble:

• ~ Place the meat mixture in the bottomo of a 9×13 casserole dish
• ~ Add 1/2c grated cheddar cheese spreading evenly over the beef mixture
• ~ Spread mashed potatoes oer the meat/cheese mixture making sure everything is covered by the potatoes
• ~ Top with the remaining 1/2c grated cheddar cheese
• ~ Place casserole in a 350* oven for 12-15min or until completely heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly
• * Allow to stand for 5min to settle and enjoy!
