Cottage pie?

You do like for taco meat and you shove mashed potatoes on top. Then you eat it.

I don't even know why I bothered to reply, habit I guess.

Shepard's pie you say?

But seriously, brown the meat, brown some onions and seasoning then cover in mashed potatoes and put it in the oven

Crumble cook some lean beef mince then remove from the pan.
Measure both the volume of cooked mince and the rendered tallow; add butter, lard or simple oil to the tallow to make it equal double in tbsp the number of cups of cooked mince IE if the mince yields 2 cups of cooked beef crumbles but the tallow is only a 1 tbsp, add 3 additional tbsp of butter, lard or oil.
Mince an onion and set aside; cook the tallow mixture with double its volume of flour over low heat (IE if you wound up with 3 tbsp of tallow mixture, add 6 of flour).
When adequately browned, add the onion and re-add the beef, stirring to combine.
Stir in an equal number of cups as tallow mixture of roasted beef broth/stock (IE if you had 5 tbsp of tallow mixture, add 5 cups of stock/broth) and stir to dissolve the flour paste.
Up the heat to high and bring to a simmer, then lower just enough to maintain it; if desired, add some chopped carrot at this point.
Simmer until thickened nicely, then salt to taste with Worcestershire sauce, stir in some peas (if desired) and off the heat.
Stir in some fresh parsley and/or chive if desired, too.
Pour the beefy gravy into a casserole dish and set aside.
Heat oven to 200°C/400°F; meanwhile, steam or boil some potatoes.
Mash and season them with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix in some egg then pipe or spread the mash evenly on the beefy gravy.
Bake until browned atop and serve hot.

Shepherds Pie is made with lamb, Cottage Pie is made with beef.

The term can be used interchangeably for any minced meat pie topped with potato, although it more commonly refers to lamb.

[Anonymous No.4967884]

It's pretty easy to make but it is a little bit more time consuming then you would imagine but totally worth it.

One tip I can give you is make the mashed potato a little bit more runny then you normally would, it can be a bit tricky trying to spread thick mashed potato over mince meat.
