One of the recipes I remember with most nostalgia is this cottage pie that my mom used to make. It takes me back to my college days, when I would return home at the end of the semester to find my mom anxiously awaiting me with this feast. Nowadays, I regularly prepare it in my kitchen and my husband has come to call it one of his favorite dishes. A recipe that’s easy to prepare and so rica; an ideal way to spoil our most loved ones.

Ingredients

4 cups water (or more, to completely cover the potatoes)
6 large potatoes
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons Progresso™ bread crumbs
1 lb ground beef
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons Muir Glen™ organic tomato sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste
4-6 slices mozzarella cheese

Directions

1

Preheat the oven on the broiler setting.
2

Boil the water with some salt, keeping in mind that the water should cover the potatoes during the cooking process.
3

While the water is coming to a boil, peel and wash the potatoes. Dice the potatoes, add them to the boiling water, and let cook until tender.
4

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain and smash to form a mash.
5

Add the butter and bread crumbs, mixing them with the hot mashed potatoes.
6

8
