Directions
Lazy Cottage Pie, This is a tasty, quick, and easy dish to prepare when you have no time to plan for supper. This is so easy to prepare and will please a hungry group of children on a chilly day. You may substitute peas & carrots for the green beans if you prefer. You may also substitute ground lamb for the ground beef, or even leftover minced roasted beef/lamb in which case just saute the onions alone and mix with the cooked meat. I usually use homemade leftover garlic mashed potatoes in this, but if all you have is instant, well – this is supposed to be a Lazy Mom’s dish, so go ahead. I garnish this with a sprinkle of paprika if I am leaving out the cheese. Don’t worry about the lack of salt & pepper in the meat – the soup provides all the seasonings and is the “secret” ingredient. Doubles well, and also can be made the day before, chilled and baked the next day for a hot lunch., This is the exact recipe from the 1940 Betty Crocker cookbook that belonged to my Grandma. It is also the recipe I thought was my Mom-In-Laws until I found it in my grandma’s cookbook. It is my son’s favorite dish from his childhood. I sometimes would add corn too the mix. It is a great meal for a crowd too, I have done that a few times with rolls and a salad and everyone love it., Super easy. used instant mashed potatoes, should have mixed some seasonings into it, but the beef and peas had great flavor from the soup.
