Today Mom and Dad made:
English Cottage Pie, Cooking Light November 2010
Mom and Dad mixed up the mashed potatoes and the filling while we were at work, so then it was ready to be assembled and baked when we got home. It's a little like a shepherd's pie, but there's no Worchestershire sauce. This prompted a conversation about how to pronounce this word. Since moving to Boston, I learned that Worchester (the city, at least) is pronounced "wooster," not "war chest her" as I might have otherwise said. But no one believed me that it was wooster-shire sauce! Until it was confirmed on Wikipedia. So there you go, a nice English lesson for you all. English spelling can never be trusted.
Anyway, I used to love shepherd's pie until eventually I got a bit tired of the Worchestershire sauce, so I was interested to try this dish. In the end it seems like it's a bit wanting for flavor, I think because you are expecting the strong taste of Worchestershire sauce, but it's still good. We didn't have mashed potatoes as leftovers, but if you did then I think this would be pretty fast and easy.
I think I'll keep this recipe. Leftovers were good too!
