Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pound ground beef (or lamb)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup beef or chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 3

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute.

Step 4

Increase heat to medium-high and add ground beef (or lamb) to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 5

Season the meat mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir in gluten-free Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste, cooking for 2 more minutes.

Step 6

Pour in beef or chicken broth and fresh thyme. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Stir in frozen peas and corn, remove from heat, and set aside.

Step 8

In a separate pot, cover diced potatoes with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes, then drain well.

Step 9

Return the drained potatoes to the pot, add butter and milk, and mash until smooth. Season with additional salt to taste.

Step 10

Spread the meat mixture evenly in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes, smoothing out to cover the meat completely.

Step 11

Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free Shepherd's Pie!
