This Guinness Cottage Pie is the perfect way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year!
Beef and vegetables slow simmered in a savory Guinness broth to perfection and then topped with olive oil mashed potatoes and baked...it's the ultimate comfort food for a cold night!
Shepherd's pie is traditionally made with ground lamb while Cottage Pie is made with ground beef, while both are equally delicious in their own way I've kicked it up a notch or two with the addition of stout to deepen the flavors....and it's delicious!
