FYI

You can use individual serving ramekins to make prepare-ahead meals. For individual servings, I would allocate 200g of the prepared meat and 100 g of the prepared mashed topping. You can bake or freeze before baking.

To freeze, either unbaked or prebaked, place cling wrap to touch the surface of the celeriac and to reduce freezer burn. Place into freezer bags and place into the freezer. To thaw, take out the night before, place in the fridge overnight. Bake or re-heat

Cottage pie or shepherd's pie is a type of savory pie. It is made with minced meat, with mashed potato on top. It comes from the United Kingdom and Ireland. The dish is now popular worldwide.

The name "cottage pie" was first used at the end of the 18th century. See https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cottage_pie. Reference based on: John Ayto (1990) The Glutton's Glossary: A Dictionary of Food and Drink Terms, Routledge, London
