Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 3 whole garlic cloves
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup beef broth
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into 2-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot with the garlic cloves and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes and garlic, then return them to the pot. Add 4 tablespoons of butter and the heavy cream. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 4

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 5

Add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring to create a thick sauce. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Stir in the sour cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, frozen peas, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and the remaining 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.

Step 9

Transfer the beef stroganoff mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it into an even layer.

Step 10

Dollop the garlic mashed potatoes over the beef mixture, then spread it out gently to completely cover the top. Use a fork to create ridges in the mashed potato layer, which will help it brown nicely.

Step 11

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mashed potatoes.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the top is golden brown.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let the shepherd's pie cool for 5-10 minutes.

Step 14

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
