Ingredients

• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 egg yolk
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Place the peeled and cubed potatoes into a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and mash them with the butter, milk, egg yolk, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.

Step 4

In a large skillet, cook the ground pork over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.

Step 5

Add the diced onion, carrots, and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.

Step 6

Stir in the all-purpose flour and tomato paste, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to coat the mixture.

Step 7

Gradually stir in the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the frozen peas, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Spread the pork and vegetable mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 9

Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top of the pork mixture, using a spoon or spatula to create a smooth layer. For added texture, use a fork to create light ridges on the surface.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 11

Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your comforting Pork Shepherd's Pie!
