Pressure Cooker Cottage Pie
How to cook a delicious cottage pie in the pressure cooker.
I don’t know about you, but I always feel like I have the same go-to ingredients that I buy when I go food shopping. On that list is always minced beef (ground beef), carrots and potatoes. The perfect combination for those times when you want a warm bowl of cottage pie.
