Gourmet Shepherd’s Pie: Easy Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, finely diced
  • 1 celery stalk, finely diced
  • 1 pound ground lamb or beef
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 cup beef stock
  • 4 cups mashed potatoes
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the carrot and celery, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
  3. Add the ground lamb or beef to the pan and brown, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes. Add in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined. Add the beef stock and continue to cook until the liquid has reduced by half and the mixture is thick and glossy.
  4. Take an oven dish and spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top of the meat mixture. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese on top. Bake in the oven until the potatoes are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 25-30 minutes. Serve hot with a side salad or vegetables.
