A comforting twist on classic shepherd’s pie, this dish combines fluffy baked potatoes with savory meat filling and creamy mashed potatoes topped with cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 1 pound ground beef or lamb
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Butter and milk for mashing

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Scrub the potatoes and pierce them with a fork. Bake for 45-60 minutes, until tender.
  3. In a skillet, cook the ground beef or lamb over medium heat until browned. Drain the excess fat.
  4. Add the onions and carrots to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Cook until the mixture thickens; add in the frozen peas and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Once the potatoes are done, cut them in half and scoop out some of the flesh, mixing it with butter and milk to make creamy mashed potatoes.
  7. Fill the potato skins with the meat mixture, then top with the mashed potatoes and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy your comforting meal!

Notes

For creamier mashed potatoes, mix in extra milk and butter. Also, brush potato skins with melted butter for added flavor.
