Ingredients
For the Filling:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb ground lamb or beef
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, diced
1/2 cup peas (frozen or fresh)
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp thyme
1/2 cup beef broth
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Mashed Potato Crust:
2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/4 cup milk
3 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 1/4 cup shredded cheese for topping
Instructions
Boil potatoes until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a skillet, heat oil and cook onion and garlic until soft. Add ground meat and cook until browned.
Stir in carrots, tomato paste, Worcestershire, thyme, broth, salt, and pepper. Simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in peas.
Spread meat mixture into a baking dish. Top with mashed potatoes, spreading to edges.
Sprinkle cheese on top if using.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and bubbly. Broil briefly for a browned top, if desired.
