Shepherd's Pie

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

2. 2

   Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.

3. 3

   While the potatoes are cooking, dice the onion and carrots. In a large pan, sauté the onions in a bit of butter until translucent.

4. 4

   Add the minced meat to the onions and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Sprinkle the flour over the meat and cook for another minute. Then add the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, thyme, and stir well.

6. 6

   Pour in the beef stock and bring to a simmer. Add the diced carrots and frozen peas. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens and the carrots are tender.

7. 7

   Once the potatoes are cooked, drain and mash them with the remaining butter and milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8. 8

   Pour the meat mixture into a baking dish. Spread the mashed potatoes on top. You can use a fork to create ridges on the potato topping if desired.

9. 9

   Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
