English Cottage Pie with Ground Beef and Mushrooms

English Cottage Pie with Ground Beef and Mushrooms 1

I've already blogged a regular English Cottage Pie with Ground Beef and Peas and Carrots, and Pate "Chinois" (Canadian "Chinese" Cottage Pie) with Ground Beef and Corn. So, I figured I'd change it up a bit by adding mushrooms.

Not much to say. It's a meal-in-one, or a great side dish for Thanksgiving dinner.

For an 8x8-inch, or 9x6-inch pan, you'll need:
Mashed potatoes from about 3 or 4 potatoes
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried thyme

Optional: Paprika to sprinkle on top

Make the mashed potatoes. About three or four potatoes should be sufficient. Set aside.

Dice the onion. In a large sauce pan on medium-high heat, drizzle a bit of oil and saute the onion. Add ground beef.

I took a fork and swirled some patterns into the cottage pie.

Then bake it in the oven at 375 degrees for half an hour or until the mashed potatoes are crispy on top.

Side view. I actually like the original and the Canadian version with corn better. But anyone version is a hit with the family. Who doesn't love mashed potatoes with a crispy baked crust?
