Last Day of New Zealand...Cottage Pie

For the last night of New Zealand we made cottage pie. Influenced by New Zealand's UK roots, cottage pie is a hearty meal full of flavour.

Cottage Pie
(makes 6 servings)
1 Lbs of Ground Beef
4 Russet Potatoes, diced
1 Tbsp. Oil

1 Onion, diced
1 Garlic Clove, diced
2 Carrots, diced
2 Celery Sticks, diced
1/2 cup Peas
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire
1 Tbsp. Rosemary
1 Tbsp. Oregano
Salt/Pepper
1/4 cup of Milk
2 Tbsp. Butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  Peel and dice 4 potatoes. Place potatoes in a pot and cover with water, bring to a boil and boil until potatoes until tender.  While potatoes are cooking heat 1 Tbsp. of oil in large dutch oven.  Add onion and garlic and cook until tender.  Add ground beef and cook through.  Add carrots, celery, peas, Worcestershire, rosemary, oregano, and salt and pepper. Cook until vegetables are tender. When potatoes are tender, drain, then mash potatoes adding milk and butter.  Transfer beef mixture from dutch oven into 9" x 13" oven safe pan.  Top with mash potatoes.  Cook in oven for 20 minutes or until top is browned.  Serve hot.
