10 lbs Of Hamburger, Ground Beef

[VioletDove]

If it were me, shepherd's pie all day.  It's not hard to make, and you'll use a bunch of ground beef.  I hope I don't get tarred and feathered by our UK rogues, I forget which is cottage pie and which is shepherd's pie 

It's in the name:

Shepherds Pie..... Shepherd.... Sheep...... use LAMB.
Cottage Pie.... use Beef.... just because! LOL

(*All pies that are topped with potato could be referred to as cottage pies, because back in the day... poor people who generally lived in small "cottages" used a LOT of cheap potatoes to fill out their pies and other dishes, hence the term "Cottage Pie" to mean any pie that was topped with cheap potato.
But in modern times, the only really popular Cottage pie to survive has been the ground beef (mince) filled one. Now known simply as Cottage Pie.)

I used to get those mixed up all the time. I think because the ones sold in the grocery store here are labeled Shepherds Pie and they are made with beef.

Cottage Pie is one of my favorites. It’s perfect for when it’s cold outside or when I’m feeling a little sad or just because lol. I think I know what I’m making for supper tonight.

I’ve also got my eye on that Southern Goulash recipe that @"Grace" posted.

I’m so glad you started this thread @"kdog".
