Cottage Pie
Equipment
Ingrediënten
- 2 cups leftover cooked meat diced (chicken, pork, beef, or hamburger, etc.)
- 2 T. butter
- 3 T. flour
- 1 can vegetable soup plus enough water to make a total of 2 cups
- leftover mashed potatoes or make a fresh batch, enough to cover your pie
Instructies
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and add the diced meat; cook, stirring, until meat is hot.
- Add the flour and stir until well blended.
- Pour in the soup mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened.
- Turn into a 9 × 9-inch baking dish and top with a thick layer of mashed potatoes.
- Bake at 375° for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are lightly browned on top.
- I often make this dish using hamburger that I cook fresh, and instead of draining off the fat, I use that in place of some of the butter that’s needed to make the gravy.
- It gives a nice flavor to the finished dish.
- And I usually use a quart jar of my home-canned vegetable soup in place of the store-bought can of soup.
Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Really, this is the sort of recipe that doesn’t take careful measuring. Just throw into the pot what you have on hand and top with mashed potatoes that have been made with rich milk and plenty of butter.
