Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium carrot, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 medium russet potato, peeled and diced
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by boiling the peeled and diced potatoes in a medium saucepan of salted water for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a 12-inch skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside, leaving behind a bit of grease.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion and carrot to the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

Step 4

Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Stir to combine, then reduce the heat to low.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and cook gently, stirring frequently, until soft scrambled eggs form. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

To the skillet with the beef mixture, stir in the cooked peas and boiled potatoes. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, lightly mash the potatoes, mixing them with the beef and vegetables to form a cohesive filling.

Step 7

Gently fold the scrambled eggs into the skillet mixture. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and cover the skillet for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese has melted.

Step 8

Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Shepherd's Pie Skillet Scramble!
