Shepherd’s pie recipe

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef or lamb

1 large onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 carrots, peeled and diced

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 cups mashed potatoes (you can use leftover mashed potatoes or make them fresh)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef or lamb and cook until browned and crumbly.

Add the onion, garlic, and carrots to the skillet and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Transfer the meat mixture to a 9×13 inch baking dish and spread it out in an even layer.

Spoon the mashed potatoes on top of the meat mixture and spread them out in an even layer as well.

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Let the shepherd’s pie cool for a few minutes before serving.

Enjoy your delicious homemade shepherd’s pie!
