Come over and get cozy with a slice of mushroom cottage pie, a true comfort food classic.
Shepherd’s pie, cottage pie, or in its French version Hachis Parmentier is a savory dish of cooked minced meat topped with mashed potato and baked. The meat used may be either previously cooked or freshly minced. The usual meats are beef or lamb
What is the difference between a Shepherd’s Pie and a Cottage Pie?
Let’s start with a fairly well-known one: there is a difference between “cottage pie” and “shepherd’s pie”, and it’s in the meat. Shepherd’s pie should only be named as such if it contains lamb, and “cottage” usually applies to one made with beef.

Haaaaa
I used to think shepherd’s pie and cottage pie were one and the same thing Esme. Crickey we get an education every blessed day!
Yes Never too old to learn. Enjoy
Yum!! I had initially thought it was vegetarian (when you chop the mushroom so tiny like mince)…but nothing like mushooms for extra flavour for the carnivores! #DSeniorSalonPitstop
Lydia, yes this one does have ground beef but I am sure that you will be able to manipulate this one to suit your needs of vegetarian. I am leaving a link for you also with mushrooms you may wish to take a look at https://esmesalon.com/vegan-gf-mushroom-risotto/ and another one you can give a whirl: https://esmesalon.com/ess-vegan-shepherds-pie/
I love shepherds— I mean cottage pie. All this time I thought I was making shapherds pie and it’s been cottage pie all along. So, I’ve got to tell you first, thanks so much for the clarification. This sounds great Esme’ and that filling, yum. Pinned 📌.
