Cooking Exceptionally With Gin Lee

Cottage pie If you're in the mood for some delicious comfort food, today, I decided to make a cottage pie. Cottage pie is similar to a Shepherd's pie, but instead of using lamb, I use beef. The filling is layered with a biscuit crust, and topped with a cheesy, mashed potato topping. I use ground beef, beef bouillon, tomato paste, onions, garlic, and shredded carrots with a mixture of spices for the filling. Served alone, cottage pie is a complete meal. It's economically friendly. Plus, it's very filling and super delicious. Ingredients: 2 cups of potatoes, mashed ½ cup of butter, plus two tablespoons to add to the mashed potatoes 1 onion, finely diced 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced 2 pounds of ground beef 2 carrots, grated 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika ½ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon of seasoning salt 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons of beef bouillon 1 can of tomato paste 1 cup of water Simple biscuit dough (see below) 1-½ cups of you...

The pot-pie crust has a similar biscuit texture when the pot-pie is fully baked. Ingredients: 1 whole chicken, cooked and taken off the bone, and chopped into bite-sized pieces 2-½ cups of cream of chicken soup , or 2-10.5-ounce cans of cream of chicken soup (equals 2-½ cups) 4-6 potatoes, peeled and diced...
