Shepherd's Pie / Cottage Pie

To make this traditional dish which is a variation from Shepherd's Pie we take ground beef and season it with onion powder, parsley flakes, black pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, worcestershire sauce and olive oil. We make them into patties and cook them on the grill. Once fully cooked, we take the patties, mash them up and mix in ricotta cheese, flour, ketchup, onions and carrots. We place this on the pan and spread it evenly. We also take mashed potatoes that we spread on top of it and add mozzarella cheese. Afterwards we place this into the toaster oven to cook until brown on top.
