Equipment

  • 9" x 13" baking dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbs Butter
  • 1.5 Lbs Ground Beef
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 2 Tbs Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 Package Brown Gravy Mix
  • ½ Cup Beef Broth
  • 2 (10.5) Oz Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 15 Oz Mixed Frozen Vegetables
  • 1.5 Cups Cheddar Cheese, hand shredded
  • 2 Cups Mashed Potatoes (homemade, instant or store bought)
  • Parsley, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter and brown the ground beef, breaking it down into small pieces as it cooks. Drain the fat if needed. Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Worchesterhire sauce, gravy packet and beef broth. Stir everything together until it's evenly combined. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup cans and frozen vegetables.
  • Add the mixture to a greased 9 x 13" baking dish and smooth it out until it's flat and even. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Then, top it with dollops of mashed potatoes and using the back of a spoon, gently spread them around until they are completely covering the top.
  • Place it into the center rack of the oven, uncovered, for 45 minutes or until the potatoes start to brown and the sides are hot and bubbly. Finally, let the cottage pie sit for 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley (optional) and Enjoy!
