Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 1 lb ground beef or lamb

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 2 carrots, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup frozen peas (or mixed vegetables)

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 cup beef broth

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

  • 1 tsp dried thyme

  • 1 tsp dried rosemary

For the Mashed Potato Topping:

  • 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 4 tbsp butter

  • ½ cup milk (warm)

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Garnish (optional):

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Make the Filling:

    • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion, garlic, and carrots until softened.

    • Add ground meat and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.

    • Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.

    • Add broth and simmer for 8–10 minutes until thickened. Stir in peas. Remove from heat.

  2. Make the Mashed Potatoes:

    • Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (about 15 minutes).

    • Drain and mash with butter, warm milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in cheese if using.

  3. Assemble the Pie:

    • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

    • Spread the meat filling evenly in a baking dish.

    • Spoon mashed potatoes on top, spreading evenly. Use a fork to create ridges (these brown beautifully).

    • Sprinkle with extra cheese if desired.

  4. Bake:

    • Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown on top.

    • Garnish with parsley before serving.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with a fresh green salad or roasted veggies.

  • Pairs beautifully with crusty bread.
