Cozy beef & mushroom cottage pie
Beef second courses

I was first introduced to Shepard's Pie at the Southern California Renaissance Faire when I was a young girl, probably 10 or 11 years old, and loved it! It is the ultimate combination of meat and potatoes. Eventually, I took what I remembered of that Shepherd's Pie to come up with my own recipe. I usually call this dish a Shepherd's Pie but, if I were to stick to tradition, it is technically a Cottage Pie because it is made with beef. Shepherd's Pie is traditionally made with mutton/lamb. Though whether I call it Cottage Pie or Shepherd's Pie, this is one of my favorite fall/winter comfort foods, although I make it all year-round. <br /> <br />Just as a side note... the Cottage Pie in the photos did not have butter added to the top of the mashed potatoes. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
