Cook the mixture until the onions are translucent and the carrots are tender.

Add in 1 cup of beef broth and 1 can of diced tomatoes, then mix and let it reduce down for about 20 minutes until the liquid is mostly gone.

Microwave 3 russet potatoes for about 11 minutes, then let them sit for 10 minutes to cool before peeling.

Mash the cooled potatoes and add salt and pepper to taste.

Add 2 egg yolks and 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese to the mashed potatoes and mix well.

Transfer the cooled meat mixture to a baking dish and top with the potato mixture, spreading it evenly.

Use a fork to create texture on the potato layer by dragging it in one direction and then the other.

Slice the cottage pie and serve.
