Ingredients
Potato Topping:2 russet potatoes, peeled and diced 1/4 teaspoon salt1 egg yolkFilling:12 ounces ground lamb1 cup onions, diced1/2 teaspoon black pepper1 teaspoon thyme, dried1 teaspoon chili powder2 cups carrots, shredded1 cup fresh green beans, chopped1/2 cup frozen corn2 tablespoons tomato paste1 cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken stock
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan, then cover with cold water. Cover the pot with a lid, bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, until the potatoes are soft.

While potatoes are simmering, prepare the filling. Place a large saute pan over moderate heat, add the beef and onions, and cook until the lamb is no longer pink. Add the carrots, beans, spices, and tomato paste, stir to combine, and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add the stock and corn, then stir to combine. Place the meat and vegetables into a casserole dish and set aside.

Drain the potatoes and mash well, using a potato masher or ricer. Add the egg yolk and salt. Spread or pipe on top of the meat mixture. Bake 10 minutes, until the potatoes are browned.

    .. If you do not eat meat, there is a great product known as ' Meatless Crumbles' and it could be substituted for the meat in this recipe.I omit the corn, and use peas instead, also add nutmeg and crushed red pepper flakes.I also make the topping with HALF mashed cauliflower/half potatoes. Its GREAT - 3/15/14

    A friend gave me a recipe much like this, but using mashed baked or nuked sweet potatoes for the topping, and the meat a mixture of ground turkey and portabello mushrooms. Delicious!!! - 11/2/15

    Noraspat. Most of us know where shepherd's or cottage pie originated. However it's nice to see some variance in ingredients to make life a little more interesting. - 3/12/16

    I am English and nowhere will you find a recipe for authentic Cottage Pie or Shepherd's Pie that includes CORN or Chili Powder. Until the 50,s we fed the pigs CORN and few people ever used CHILI Powder either. Once Ketchup arrived to England it was on top after the meal was plated. Lamb was cut up. - 3/12/16

    I don't understand rating a recipe and then proceed to describe how the recipe has been drastically changed by adding ingredients, taking ingredients away or substituting ingredients. Did you really try the recipe as written? - 1/3/16

    Rather than adding beef to the sauté pan, I'm sure you meant to type "lamb." - 2/20/21

    I use either ground turkey or lean ground beef, I use either tomato soup, tomato sauce it depends. Mushroom soup is good too, also I use can vegetables. I put a layer of grated cheese on top. It is a family favorite, my adult children now make it for their own families. - 6/21/20
