Shepherd's Pie Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Vegetables

   Dice the onion and carrots.

2. 2

   Cook the Beef

   In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onions become translucent.

3. 3

   Brown the Ground Beef

   Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 8-10 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Vegetables

   Stir in 1 cup of frozen peas and 1 cup of frozen corn. Mix well and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

5. 5

   Season the Mixture

   Add 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the beef and vegetable mixture. Stir well and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.

6. 6

   Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

   If not already prepared, make 4 cups of mashed potatoes. You can use instant potatoes or make them from scratch by boiling potatoes until tender, mashing them with butter and milk, and seasoning to taste.

7. 7

   Assemble the Shepherd's Pie

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly in a baking dish, then top it with the mashed potatoes, smoothing them out with a spatula.

8. 8

   Add Cheese

   Sprinkle 1 cup of grated Asiago cheese evenly over the top of the mashed potatoes.

9. 9

   Bake

   Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
