Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 pounds lean ground beef or lamb
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup beef stock
- 1 1/2 cups garden peas
- Cheesy Mashed Potatoes, recipe follows
Directions
Preheat oven at 400 degrees F.
Add butter and oil to a large skillet on medium heat. Saute onions, carrots, celery and garlic until tender for about 7 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Once the vegetables have softened and start to brown a little add the tomato paste and mix evenly. Add the ground beef and cook until beef is no longer pink about 10 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce and beef stock. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook and simmer for another 10 minutes. Mix in peas. Transfer mixture to an oven-proof baking dish and spread evenly. Place potato on top of ground beef mixture and spread out evenly, once the top surface has been covered, rake through with a fork so that there are peaks that will brown nicely. Place the dish into the preheated oven and cook until browned about 20 minutes. Spoon out the shepherd's pie and serve.
- Mashed Potatoes
- 4 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, quartered
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated mature white Cheddar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fill a large saucepan with cold water and a tablespoon of salt. Add potatoes to the water and bring to a boil. Let potatoes cook until soft about 20 minutes. Once the potatoes are at a desired density, drain the potatoes and place them back into the saucepan for mashing. Add butter and cream and begin to mash potatoes into a semi smooth consistency. Once at desired texture add cheese and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.

This came out really good. Unfortunately, I chose this as the time to try my new food processor - so my carrots were shredded instead of chopped. And, like another reveiwer, I mashed the potatoes with the skins on.

I love this recipe! I modify the potatoes by just scrubbing instead of peeling them. I also give the meat a little extra loving by sprinkling a little extra worcestershire as the veggies cook. I've even made them fancier by topping the potatoes with bits of Manchego cheese...yum!
Oh great...now I have to make this dish! Anyone want to come over for dinner?
