Meat Filling

Mashed Potato Topping

Method

Meat Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.

  2. 2

    Add Meat and Garlic

    Add the ground beef or lamb to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the frozen peas, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Mashed Potato Preparation

  1. 4

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

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

Assembly and Baking

  1. 6

    Layer the Filling

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a baking dish, spread the meat filling evenly on the bottom.

  2. 7

    Add the Mashed Potatoes

    Use a spatula to spread the mashed potatoes over the meat filling, smoothing the top with a fork to create texture.

  3. 8

    Bake the Shepherd's Pie

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Shepherd's Pie!
