Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
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.
Add the ground beef (or lamb) to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking up any large chunks with a wooden spoon.
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.
Stir the peas into the meat mixture, then remove from heat and set aside.
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.
Add butter and milk to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with a pinch of salt if needed.
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.
Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy Tippy's comforting Shepherd's Pie with family and friends!
