Shepherd's Pie

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

2. 2

   In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground lamb until no longer pink, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.

3. 3

   Add the chopped onions and carrots to the skillet with the lamb, and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Stir in the frozen peas, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce, and cook for another 2 minutes.

5. 5

   Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until the liquid is slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.

6. 6

   While the lamb mixture is simmering, prepare the mashed potatoes. If you don't have pre-made mashed potatoes, peel, boil, and mash potatoes with butter and milk to taste.

7. 7

   Spoon the lamb mixture into a baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

8. 8

   Top the lamb mixture with the mashed potatoes. Use a fork to create peaks on the mashed potatoes, which will brown nicely.

9. 9

   Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes.

10. 10

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the mashed potatoes are golden brown and the edges are bubbling.

11. 11

    Remove the Shepherd's Pie from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
