Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Pepper
• 1 pound Ground beef or lamb
• 1 medium, finely diced Carrot
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas
• 1 small, finely diced Onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 0.5 cup Beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
• 0 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the russet potatoes. Boil them in salted water for about 15 minutes or until fork-tender.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes and mash them with the butter, milk, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of pepper. Set aside and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a bundt pan or ring-shaped mold with cooking spray.

Step 4

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or lamb until no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.

Step 5

Add the diced carrot, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, then stir in the peas. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Mix the mashed potatoes with the shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, and eggs until well combined.

Step 8

Spread a thin layer of the potato mixture into the bottom of the prepared bundt pan, pressing it up the sides to create a shell.

Step 9

Spoon the meat mixture into the center of the ring, pressing gently to fill the space evenly.

Step 10

Cover the meat filling with the remaining potato mixture, smoothing it with a spatula to seal the top.

Step 11

Bake the potato ring in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 12

Allow the ring to cool for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Step 13

Slice and serve your Easy Shepherd's Pie Potato Ring warm!
