My gf made me cottage pie yum yum

[Anonymous No.11297575]

That is possibly the worst looking cottage pie I have ever lain eyes on, but I cannot say I would not still eat it.

[Anonymous No.11297715]

Shepherds pie was originally made with beef. Then to be cutsy people started using lamb. Then spergs started this "shepherds herd sheep, Not cows! Faggotry." you can make it with duck for all it matters. Fish tacos aren't tilapicos, theyre fucking tacos.

It’s a mess. Any idea how she managed to get it so greasy? Apparently she drained the mince twice and it still looks like this.

It was originally called Cottage Pie and used beef or mutton, old dairy cows and old sheep needed to be used in some way thus the cottage pie was born.

Looks like a camp toilet, op

[Anonymous No.11298154]

Aren't there supposed to be vegetables in the filling? Also why does the mashed potato topping look like corn meal? This looks like a shitty texmex tamale pie. Is your "gf" an american spic?

Did you enjoy it Op? I have concerns about the oil puddle at the bottom but that's incredibly nice of her.

Funny she made me hare pie.

[Anonymous No.11298412]

Yeah, that's pretty bad. No discernible veg (unless, oh god, is that corn?!), it's swimming in grease, and there's no browning on the top. I refuse to believe she drained the beef at all, there's literally nothing else that would cause that unless after she drained it she poured a greater amount of oil back into it.

Let me help you out:

2lbs of ground beef, 85/15 or 90/10
1 large onion, grated
2 large carrots, grated
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 tbsp of tomato paste
Several glugs of worcestershire sauce
2 cups red wine
2 cups chicken stock
1 tbsp fresh or half tbsp dried thyme
1 tbsp fresh or half tbsp dried rosemary
salt and pepper to taste

Cook off your beef in a bit of olive oil until well browned and there are lots of crispy bits. Add your grated onion and carrot and cook until tender, then add your garlic and fry for 30-45 seconds. Clear a hole in the bottom of your pot and add your tomato paste, stirring thoroughly to remove some of the bitterness before swirling it around into your other ingredients. Add your worcestershire sauce to taste, I like a pretty strong smokey flavor. Add your red wine and herbs and simmer for several minutes until well reduced. Add your chicken stock and reduce that as well until it forms a really fine, cohesive meat paste.

While the simmering is happening, peel and dice several medium yellow or russet potatoes and boil until tender. Salt, pepper, and a bit of milk, stock, or water to taste, along with some butter, and mash fine. Stir in a good amount of freshly grated parmesan.

Add your meat paste to the bottom of a casserole dish and then spread evenly. Spoon on your mash and spread that evenly as well. Give it another pinch of salt and pepper, some more grated parmesan, and toss into a 375 degree oven for 30-40 minutes or until nicely browned. Remove from the oven and let cool several minutes before serving.

Not at all greasy, the veg literally melts into the meat sauce, and the depth of flavor is incredible.

It was edible and tasted good but not enjoyable
I had to ask what she did because there was a pool of grease in my oven from this overflowing.
>browned meat
>removed with slotted spoon into a bowl
>cooked onions in grease
>added mince back
>added Worcester sauce
>”you didn’t have anything for tomato so I used ketchup”
>put mince in oven for 30 mins
>added creamed corn on top
>made mashed potatoes with 4 potatoes evaporated milk and a stick of butter
>baked it for an hour
>it started dripping so she took it out
Wala

Dump her along with that monstrosity she cooked. Ffs, was she ragging or just too stupid to a google a recipe for shepards pie?

[Anonymous No.11298617]

>>11298495
You said she drained it twice, dumbass. Not only did she not, a stick of fucking butter? A tenner says you're both gross as shit.

[Anonymous No.11298633]

This was scooped out of the dish when it was too hot, but this is what a serving of pie should look like.

[Anonymous No.11298637]

>>11298495
Aw well as long as you enjoyed it Op, she did a nice thing. Well done for attempting this.
I've never added evaporated milk to the potatoes. Maybe I'll try one day.

Let me educate you. Shepherds pie can only be made with mutton. A shepherd could never of afforded a lamb to make mince from. They would of been sold to the Lord of the Manor, or the Clergy.

Parson's Pie is made of lamb or venison. Cottage Pie is made with beef or trout. Faggot Pie is made with pork, and almost entirely unique to Norfolk. Ghillie Pie is made with salmon or grouse and is mostly seen in Northumberland and Scotland. Finally, very rarely seen now, but Regent's Pie is made with swan or historically with exotic game like gazelle, zebra or turtle.

Fry the beef, drain off the fat and set the meat to one side.

Fry onions and carrots in the greased pan with a tablespoon of the drained beef fat.

Return beef to pan once vegetables are coloured. Continue on with recipe.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT MAN. IMAGINE THE SOLIDIFIED FAT ONCE ITS CHILLED IN THE FRIDGE. I BET SHE USED 1 CUP OF FUCKING OIL TO BROWN THE MEAT AND DIDNT DRAIN ANY OF THE FAT/OIL. YOU SHOULD SOAK YOUR HAND IN THE BOTTOM OF THE POT, WALK INTO THE LIVING ROOM AND SLAP HER AS HARD AS YOU CAN ON THE ASS AND LEAVE A GREASY HAND PRINT
