Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or lamb over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Add the frozen peas and simmer for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Make the Mashed Potatoes

    While the filling simmers, boil the peeled and diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender. Drain and return to the pot.

  5. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add butter and milk to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Pie

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the meat and vegetable mixture in a baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes, smoothing it out with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.

  7. 7

    Bake

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

  8. 8

    Serve

    Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your comforting Shepherd's Pie!
