BUCKINGHAM PALACE COTTAGE PIE

Steps:

• 1. In a large saucepan, over high heat, saute the chopped onions until soft and translucent. Add the ground beef and break up using a wooden spoon. Saute until it is browned. Gradually stir in the flour, thyme, water, bouilon cubes and worcestershire sauce.
• 2. Reduce heat to low and simmer the meat(so it is just bubbling) for about 30 minutes. Remove from stove. Spoon onto a large pie dish. Leave to cool.
• 3. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water(about an inch above the potatoes). Cover and bring to boil over high heat. Lower heat to a simmer until the potatoes are tender(about 20 minutes). Drain the water off the potatoes and return dry potatoes to a low heat for one or two minutes to dry them. Mash the potatoes with a potatoe masher.
• 4. Add the butter, salt, pepper, nutmeg, egg yolk and cream and stir into the potatoe mix. Spoon on top of the beef mix and sprinkle cheese over the potatoes.
• 5. Bake in a pre-heated oven (350 degrees) for about 20-30 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and pie has heated through.
