Cottage or Shepherd's Pie - Cowboy Kent Rollins

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

Brown the beef in a medium skillet, over medium-high heat. Drain any excess grease, if needed.

Step 3

Stir in the carrots, celery, onion and bell pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, wine, garlic and hominy. Simmer for about 2 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Add the potatoes to a medium bowl. Whisk in the cream, egg yolks, pepper jack cheese, cheddar cheese and green chiles.

Step 5

You can keep the meat in the skillet, or transfer to a 9x11-inch casserole dish, or 10-inch Dutch oven. Evenly top with the mashed potatoes. With a fork, gently press down into the potatoes and pull up to make slight peeks around the top. Evenly top with the parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes set up and brown slightly. Serve warm.
