Steps:

• Filling:
• Combine all filling ingredients in a bowl; mix well. Spread into a 10" pie plate.
• Topping:
• Combine all topping ingredients except chives in a bowl. Spread on top of filling. If not serving immediately, cover and freeze. Or bake at 400° until top browns, about 20 minutes. Garnish with chives.
• To reheat:
• Microwave on high for 4 minutes or bake at 400°F for 25 minutes. Garnish with chives.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
• 2. In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil, then add the onion, carrot, and meat. Cook until browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
• 3. Drain the fat and add the broth, tomato paste, and herbs. Simmer until the juices thicken, about 10 minutes, then add the peas.
• 4. Pour the mixture into a 1 1/2-quart baking dish; set aside.
• 5. Meanwhile, bring the potatoes to a boil in salted water. Cook until tender, about 20 minutes; drain.
• 6. Mash the potatoes with the butter, milk, and salt.
• 7. Spread them over the meat mixture, then crosshatch the top with a fork.
• 8. Bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes.

Steps:

• To make the crust, peel the potatoes and cut them into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Place them in a pot, add water to cover generously and a large pinch of salt, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil briskly until the potatoes are a bit beyond fork-tender, almost collapsing, about 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and, while the potatoes are still moist, return them to the pot. Let cool briefly until no longer steaming. Add the milk, butter, and horseradish and mash with a potato masher or sturdy wire whisk until no longer chunky, almost creamy. Whisk in 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper, taste, and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired. Set aside in a warm place.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• To make the filling, melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the pearl onions, carrots, and celery, stir to mix, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the lamb sausage and continue cooking, stirring to break up the clumps, until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the thyme, tomato paste, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, and water and stir to mix. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
• To assemble the pie, transfer the filling to a 2-quart baking dish, preferably one that can segue from oven to table for ease of serving. Spread the mashed potatoes across the top and, with a fork or spoon, lift them into decorative peaks here and there.
• Bake until the top is golden around the edges and across the peaks, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve hot, directly from the baking dish.

Steps:

• For topping:
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Bake potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet until tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly, then peel. Press potatoes through a ricer, food mill, or colander into a large bowl. Add butter; stir until well blended. Stir in milk. Season to taste with salt. DO AHEAD: Potatoes can be made 1 day ahead. Let cool, press plastic wrap directly onto potatoes, and chill.
• For filling:
• Soak dried porcini in 3 cups hot water; set aside. Combine lentils, 1 garlic clove, 1 teaspoon salt, and 4 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender but not mushy, 15ñ20 minutes. Drain lentils and discard garlic.
• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 12 minutes. Add chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in tomato paste. Cook, stirring constantly, until tomato paste is caramelized, 2-3 minutes.
• Add bay leaves and wine; stir, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in porcini, slowly pouring porcini soaking liquid into pan but leaving any sediment behind. Bring to a simmer and cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Stir in broth and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 45 minutes.
• Strain mixture into a large saucepan and bring to a boil; discard solids in strainer. Stir cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl to dissolve. Add cornstarch mixture; simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in miso. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss vegetables and pearl onions with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 5 garlic cloves, and rosemary sprigs in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Divide between 2 rimmed baking sheets. Roast, stirring once, until tender, 20-25 minutes. Transfer garlic cloves to a small bowl; mash well with a fork and stir into sauce. Discard rosemary. DO AHEAD: Lentils, sauce, and vegetables can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately; chill.
• Arrange lentils in an even layer in a 3-quart baking dish; set dish on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Toss roasted vegetables with fresh mushrooms and chopped herbs; layer on top of lentils. Pour sauce over vegetables. Spoon potato mixture evenly over.
• Bake until browned and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Boil potatoes until tender in a large pan.About 15 min.
• Combine olive oil, garlic and onions in a large skillet and saute for 5 min or until tender. Add sausage,beef and pepper. Saute until meat is cooked through..about 8 min. Add the beer and simmer until reduced by half..about 4 min. I usually remove the veggies after cooking and saute beef/sausage separately..then drain fat. You can do all together..might have more flavor!
• In a small glass mix the cornstarch with water. Add this to meat and stir until thickened. Remove from heat
• Spread the meat mixture in bottom of loaf pan, in small bowl mix the corn/creamed corn together and layer if over the meat.
