Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and paprika. Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
Add the frozen peas to the skillet and stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
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.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Spread the mashed sweet potatoes evenly over the beef mixture, using a spatula to smooth the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Sweet Potato Cottage Pie!
