4 Cottage Pies
Cottage Pie, or Shepherd’s Pie, is a dish dating back to the late 1700’s that was initially a meat pie, usually filled with leftover meats and veggies and topped with mashed potatoes. While not much has changed over the years, our recipe for Smoked Cottage Pie is a new twist on the old favorite, utilizing a meat “bowl” to hold the filling and make this a delicious treat hot off the grill!
