Steps:
- (Up to a month ahead) heat the oil in a large pan. Fry the bacon lardons over a high heat for several mins until well coloured. Using a slotted spoon, remove from the pan, drain on kitchen paper and set aside.
- Season the beef, then fry in the fat left in the pan. Once coloured, add all the remaining ingredients for the beef, except the cornstarch and bacon, and bring to a simmer. Partly cover the pan with a lid and continue to cook for a further 2-2½ hrs or until the beef is tender.
- Once cooked, tip everything into a colander set over another pan so you can catch the sauce. Tip the contents of the colander into a large pie dish, about 11in x 9in x 2in.
- Re-boil the sauce and check for seasoning. Thicken with the loosened cornstarch, adding a little at a time and stirring until you have the desired coating consistency. Spoon enough sauce over the beef to barely cover and loosen it, then stir. Remaining sauce can be frozen, ready to re-heat and offer separately on the day.
- While the beef is cooling, make the mash. Boil the potatoes until tender, 15-20 mins, depending on size. Drain off the water and replace the lid. Shake the pan to break up the boiled potatoes. Add butter and milk a little at a time while mashing. Season.
- Spoon and spread the mashed potatoes on top of the cooled beef. Once covered, the mash can be marked with a spoon, palette knife or fork for a more interesting finish. When cold, the cottage pie is ready to cover and freeze.
- The day before serving, transfer the pie to the fridge to defrost overnight. (Or reheat from frozen on the day, see below.)
- On the day, reheat the pie. Heat oven to 350°F If thawed, bake for 50 mins-1 hr, or until heated through, then increase heat to 400F for the final 10 mins for a golden brown topping.
- If cooking from frozen, cover with foil, then bake for 1¼ hrs; remove foil and bake uncovered for 1¼ hrs more, then increase heat as above for the last 10 minutes.

FRENCH STYLE BOEUF BOURGUIGNON COTTAGE-SHEPHERD'S PIE
Technically speaking, a Shepherd's pie is made with leftover lamb and a Cottage pie is made with leftover beef, but what's in a name - especially as this is my version of a French Cottage - Shepherd's pie made with leftover Recipe #176183!! It will work with any hearty beef or lamb stew leftovers and is delicious served with savoy cabbage & carrots. It will also work very well with Recipe #191313 I have adapted this recipe to feed about 4 people, that is based on the mashed potato quantities - but you can change the quantities to suit yourself; one, three or more people! N.B. I have also given an alternative measurement of butter - depending on how buttery and naughty you want your mashed potatoes to be, and, an option of a cheesy topping!

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 200C/400F or Gas mark 6.
- Lightly grease a large ovenproof dish with some of the butter.
- Put your Boeuf Bourguignon, Beef or Lamb stew leftovers into the greased ovenproof dish. If the pieces of meat are a bit to chunky, break them down a bit - likewise, cut the shallots into half if necessary.
- Boil your potatoes in salted water for about 25 minutes or until very tender.
- Drain the potatoes, add the Dijon mustard, creme fraiche/sour cream, butter & season well with salt & black pepper.
- Mash thoroughly with a potato masher or a hand held blender, mash until there are no discernable lumps & the mash is well mixed.
- Spoon the mashed potatoes over the top of the meat, smoothing it all the time with the back of a spoon.
- Rough up the potato with a fork to give an attractive appearance and place the sliced tomatoes on top.
- Add the grated cheese if using.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 35 minutes - or until the pie is well heated through & the top is golden brown and bubbling!
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with fresh greens, savoy cabbage, red cabbage or carrots.
