Cottage pie is an English casserole that’s traditionally made with minced meat (usually ground beef), gravy, vegetables, and mashed potatoes. Shepherd’s pie” and “cottage pie” are used interchangeably, but technically traditional shepherd's pie is made with ground lamb and traditional cottage pie is made with ground beef.
| 1. | Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage, then carefully separate the remaining leaves. Blanch the cabbage leaves in the boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Drain and set aside. |
| 2. | In a large bowl, combine the fully cooked ground beef (or ground lamb), cooked rice, onion, carrot, peas, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine. |
| 3. | Take a cabbage leaf and place a portion of the meat mixture in the center. Top meat mixture with a dollop of mashed potatoes. Roll up the leaf, tucking in the sides as you go, to create a tight roll. Repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves and filling. |
| 4. | Place the cabbage rolls in a casserole dish and cover with aluminum foil. |
| 5. | Bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 25 minutes. |
| 6. | In a small saucepan melt butter over medium heat then whisk in flour. Allow it to cook for about 1 – 2 minutes, whisking constantly. Butter will foam up and subside, and the flour will start to brown. |
| 7. | Slowly whisk in Guinness and beef stock. Add Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. |
| 8. | Bring to a boil, whisking occasionally. Once the gravy thickens, drop the heat to low heat and let sit, covered, for about 5 minutes. |
| 9. | Pour gravy over cabbage rolls right before serving. Enjoy! |
