Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (or lamb for traditional shepherd's pie)
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

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 chopped onion, diced carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the ground beef (or lamb) to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking up any large chunks with a wooden spoon.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let simmer for 10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 5

Stir the peas into the meat mixture, then remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

In a large pot, boil the peeled and cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

Step 7

Add butter and milk to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with a pinch of salt if needed.

Step 8

Spread the meat mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes, spreading them out evenly to cover the meat.

Step 9

Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Enjoy Tippy's comforting Shepherd's Pie with family and friends!
