Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 Degrees and coat a 13x9 baking dish with cooking spray. Then set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat add in olive oil. Once the oil is hot add the onions and cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Add the ground beef, parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes and break apart the ground beef with meat chopper or spoon. Stir occasionally until meat is completely browned.

Step 4

Add in garlic and cook for an addition 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the Worcestershire sauce, flour and ketchup to the ground beef mixture. Stir until fully incorporated and cook for 1 minute.

Step 6

Add the beef broth, frozen peas and carrots and frozen corn kernels. Cook until the beef broth begins to boil. Then, reduce heat and let simmer for 4-5 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Step 7

In the prepared baking dish spread out the ground beef filling. Make sure to spread it out into an even layer.

Step 8

Peel and cut potatoes into 3/4 inch cubes. Place the potatoes in a large pot. Cover the potatoes with water and add 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes until the can be smashed with a fork. Cook time will be 10-15 minutes.

Step 9

Drain the potatoes and add them to your KitchenAid mixer. I you don’t have a mixer a hand mixer or potato smasher will work fine.

Step 10

Then, cut the butter stick into 1 tablespoon pieces and spread them evenly on top of the potatoes

Step 11

Next, add the half & half, garlic powder, salt and black pepper and mix until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.

Step 12

Step 13

Sprinkle the paprika over the potatoes evenly. Then, add the cheddar cheese on top of the potatoes.

Step 14

Place the in the oven and bake at 400 degrees. Place a baking sheet on the shelf under the pie. I have found that this recipe will sometimes boil over and the baking sheet will save your oven. Cook for 25-30 minutes.

Then, let cool for 10 minutes before serving and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!
