About Cottage Pie
Shepherd's pie's beef cousin: minced beef in gravy under a mashed-potato lid. A portion is about 378 kcal with 18.9 g protein; beef mince is usually a little fattier than lamb in home recipes.
Tip: Using 5% fat beef mince makes a noticeable difference here, since the meat layer carries most of the fat.
