Instant Pot Cottage Pie Ingredients:
- 500 g Minced Beef
- 1 Kg White Potatoes
- 1 Large Onion
- 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Large Leek
- 2 Large Carrots
- 100 g Frozen Peas
- 1 Can Tinned Tomatoes
- 200 ml Beef Stock
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- 1 Tbsp Whole Milk
- 1 Tbsp Thyme
- 1 Tbsp Bouquet Garni
- 1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
- 1 Tbsp Worcester Sauce
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- Peel and slice your onion, prep your vegetables and sauté in the instant pot with extra virgin olive oil. Load into the instant pot your minced beef and stir for a couple of minutes until the mince starts to brown.
- Pour in stock, tinned tomatoes and seasonings and stir.
- Cancel the sauté and lower your trivet over the minced beef. Add the steamer basket ready for the potatoes. Peel and dice your potatoes and load onto the steamer basket.
- Place the lid on the instant pot, set the valve to sealing and cook for 5 minutes on meat and stew. Allow for 5 minutes natural pressure release before releasing pressure. Once you have released pressure, stir in your frozen peas. They will warm up naturally because of the heat in the instant pot.
- Remove the potatoes and mash with salt, thyme, butter, and milk. Load the meat and potatoes onto dinner plates and enjoy!
Notes
Leftovers. The point of cottage pie is the use of leftovers. Have a fridge raid and use whatever old root vegetables you have in your fridge. I used a leek, but celery works well too.
Thick. Is your cottage pie not thick enough? If that is the case, then stir in a little of the mashed potatoes and reduce the stock slightly. You will then have a thick cottage pie filling.
