Heat up oil in a frying pan and add your beef mince. Cook on a high heat until a golden brown colour. Use a slotted spoon to remove the mince and set it aside for now.<\/p>\n<p>Next, add the onions and celery to the pan and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, then add the beef mince to the pan again.<\/p>\n<p>Add the wine and flour to a bowl and mix until it becomes a smooth paste. Add in the stock and mix until fully combined. Add to the pan along with the sugar, thyme and Worcestershire sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Bring the minced beef mixture to a boil and keep stirring until the sauce has thickened. Add the mushrooms plus the salt and pepper seasoning. Let it simmer for 45 minutes or until minced beef is fork tender.<\/p>\n<p>Now it is time to make the potato topping. Add the sliced potatoes to a pot of salted boiling water and cook for around five minutes or until the potatoes have softened. If the potatoes are hard then they will not aboard the cream when placed later. Drain the potatoes using a colander and then leave to cool.<\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 220C (or 425F). Once both the beef mixture and potatoes are ready, add the beef mixture to your ovenproof dish. Place a layer of potato on top and pour half of the cream on the potatoes. Make sure to place the rest of the potatoes on top and season generously between layers. Then add the remaining cream and also add the grated cheese on top.<\/p>\n<p>Let it cook for around 30 minutes for until the top is golden brown, and then your warming cottage pie is ready to serve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow Daily Express US on Facebook and Twitter @ExpressUSNews<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/life-style\/food\/1826292\/how-to-make-cottage-pie-mary-berry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autumn is here which means the weather now is beginning to get a lot colder, and most people are looking for something rich and comforting to eat to warm themselves up during the frostier weather.
