Filling

Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the diced onion, carrots, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Sprinkle the flour over the meat and vegetable mixture, stirring to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cook for another 5-10 minutes until the mixture thickens. Add the peas, salt, and pepper, mixing well.

Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 5

    Boil Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the quartered potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 6

    Mash Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 7

    Layer the Filling

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a baking dish, spread the beef and vegetable filling evenly.

  2. 8

    Top with Mashed Potatoes

    Spoon the mashed potatoes over the filling, spreading it evenly to cover.

  3. 9

    Bake

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

  4. 10

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
