Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the chopped onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.

  3. 3

    Add the Stout

    Pour in the Irish stout, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Stir in the thyme, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

    While the filling is simmering, peel and chop the potatoes. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with the remaining butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Spread the beef filling evenly in a baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.
