Meat Filling

Champ Potatoes

Method

Prepare Meat Filling

1

Cook the Beef

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

2

Add Carrots and Beef

Stir in the diced carrots and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add the ground Angus beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

3

Add Peas and Seasoning

Once the beef is browned, stir in the frozen peas, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

Prepare Champ Potatoes

4

Boil the Potatoes

While the meat filling is simmering, place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot. Cover with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

5

Mash the Potatoes

Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return to the pot. Add the butter, milk, chopped green onions, and salt. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assemble and Bake

6

Layer the Filling

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the meat filling evenly in the bottom of a baking dish.

7

Top with Champ Potatoes

Spoon the champ potatoes over the meat filling, spreading them out with a spatula to cover completely.

8

Bake the Pie

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

9

Serve

Remove the shepherd's pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
