Hearty Shepherd’s Pie Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Meat Filling

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent. Stir in the ground beef and lamb, cooking until browned. Add the diced carrots and beef broth. Simmer for about 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Flavor

   Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, frozen peas, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the peas are heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. 3

   Make the Mashed Potatoes

   While the meat filling is simmering, boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return potatoes to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

4. 4

   Assemble the Pie

   Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). In a baking dish, spread the meat filling evenly. Top with the mashed potatoes, spreading them out to cover the filling completely. Use a fork to create a pattern on top.

5. 5

   Bake

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

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your hearty shepherd's pie!
