A weeknight-fast take on cottage pie — savory beef and peas in tomato gravy under a fluffy mashed-potato and cheddar top.
Ingredients
- 10.5 oz 90% lean ground beef
- 1.5 medium potato, for mashing
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.6 cup diced tomato
- 0.5 cup frozen peas
- 1.5 oz cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Boil the diced potato in salted water 12 to 15 minutes until fork-tender, then mash with the butter and a splash of the cooking water until fluffy.
- Meanwhile, brown the ground beef with the onion in an oven-safe skillet for 6 minutes, then stir in the garlic, diced tomato, and peas and simmer 3 minutes into a thick gravy.
- Spread the mashed potato over the beef in an even layer and scatter the grated cheddar on top.
- Slide under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese melts and the potato peaks turn golden.
