A comforting and easy-to-make shepherd’s pie featuring ground beef or lamb topped with creamy mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of ground beef or lamb
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup of frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
  • 1 cup of beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups of mashed potatoes, already prepared
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary

Instructions

  1. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to preheat.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced carrots, cooking for about 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until it becomes fragrant.
  4. Incorporate the ground beef or lamb, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned, roughly 5-7 minutes. If needed, drain excess fat.
  5. Mix in the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes so the flavors meld.
  6. Transfer the meat mixture into a baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Layer the frozen peas on top, followed by the mashed potatoes, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  7. Use a fork to create a textured pattern on the mashed potatoes for a crispy finish. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute the meat with lentils or mushrooms.
  • You can add other vegetables like corn or green beans for extra nutrition.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
