There’s nothing quite like a warm shepherd’s pie to make me feel utterly comforted on a cold evening. The savory meat and creamy mashed potato topping is just pure soul food. It’s like a hug from the inside!
Hearty Shepherd's Pie
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs ground lamb or beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas

Steps
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brown ground meat in a skillet, drain fat. Add onion and carrots, cook until softened.
- Stir in peas and beef broth. Simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer meat mixture to an oven-safe dish. Top evenly with mashed potatoes, spreading to the edges.
