Ingredients

Instructions
Step 1/4
Prepare the Filling
- 150g Ground Beef
- 1/2 Small Onion
- 1 Garlic Clove
- 1 tsp Tomato Paste
- 60mL Beef or Vegetable Broth
- 1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
- 60g Frozen Vegetables
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef or lamb and and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat. Add the chopped onion, cook until softened for about 5 minutes then add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for a minute, then add in beef or vegetable broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the frozen vegetables and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 2/4
Prepare the Mashed Potatoes
- 200g Potatoes
- 1 tbsp Milk
- 1 tbsp Butter
In a medium pot, bring the diced potatoes to a boil in salted water. Cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add the milk and butter. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 3/4
Assemble the Shepherd's Pie
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the meat filling to a small ovenproof dish. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top of the filling. Use a fork to create a rough texture on the surface of the mashed potatoes (this helps them brown better).
Step 4/4
Bake and Serve
- 2g Fresh Chopped Parsley
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.
