This cottage pie is a comforting, hearty classic made with a rich, savory beef filling and topped with creamy mashed potatoes and melted sharp cheddar. Seasoned with herbs, simmered until thick and flavorful, and baked until golden and bubbling, it’s the kind of cozy, family-friendly meal that’s perfect for weeknights, meal prep, or feeding a crowd. Simple ingredients come together to create a deeply satisfying dish that feels both familiar and special.
