Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 2 medium, diced carrots
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into large chunks. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

While the sweet potatoes cook, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and carrots and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if needed.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and paprika. Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.

Step 5

Add the frozen peas to the skillet and stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Once the sweet potatoes are tender, drain and mash them with the butter, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Spread the mashed sweet potatoes evenly over the beef mixture, using a spatula to smooth the surface.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Sweet Potato Cottage Pie!
