Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 pound ground beef or lamb
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the potatoes. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Mash the cooked potatoes with butter and milk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the diced carrots to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the ground beef or lamb to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat from the pan.

Step 8

Stir in the flour, making sure it is evenly distributed, and cook for 1 minute.

Step 9

Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, until slightly thickened.

Step 10

Stir in the frozen peas and season with salt and pepper.

Step 11

Transfer the meat mixture to a baking dish and spread it out in an even layer.

Step 12

Top the filling with the mashed potatoes, spreading them evenly across the surface. Use a fork to create small ridges on the top for added texture.

Step 13

Bake the shepherd’s pie in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top begins to lightly brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
