In With the Rain Cottage Pie with Cloud Mash

"Create a rainy-night comfort classic called Come In With the Rain Cottage Pie with Cloud Mash, inspired by Taylor Swift’s ‘Come In With the Rain.’ Vibe: waiting by the window, soft thunder, warm lamp glow.Core (filling): ground beef (or turkey), diced onion, carrot, celery, garlic, tomato paste, Worcestershire (or tamari), beef broth, thyme, rosemary, salt/pepper; frozen peas stirred in at the end.Mash (topping): Yukon gold potatoes, butter, milk or cream, salt/pepper.Method: sauté aromatics; brown meat; add tomato paste; deglaze with broth + Worcestershire; simmer with thyme/rosemary until glossy; stir in peas. Boil potatoes; mash with butter/milk. Spread or pipe mash over filling in a 9×9 or similar; rake with a fork (little ‘rain lines’). Bake at 400°F until bubbling with golden peaks (about 20–25 min); broil 2–3 min for color; rest 10 min.Include: yield 6; total time ~1 hour; exact ingredient amounts (cups/grams); step-by-step; make-ahead + freezer notes (assemble, chill, wrap, bake from cold); sheet-pan catch tip for drips.Swaps: gluten-free (tamari + cornstarch slurry if needed), dairy-free (olive oil + plant milk), vegetarian (mushrooms + lentils), low-budget (half meat, half lentils).Plating: scoop to show steamy gravy under cloudlike potatoes—rain outside, warmth inside. Keep all ingredients common and fully home-kitchen accessible."
