lb. medium russet potatoes, peeled and quartered

unsalted butter

cup cheddar cheese, shredded

garlic powder

salt (or

black pepper (or

yellow onion, diced

carrots,

beef (or ground lamb)

garlic, minced

tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or tomato paste)

Italian seasoning

paprika

teaspoon ground black pepper (or

all-purpose flour

peas, frozen

beef broth

Add the potatoes into a large pot of salted water. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until fork tender, about 10-15 minutes. If you can easily insert a fork into the potatoes, then they are ready. 

Drain the water and mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a fork. Add butter, milk, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well until evenly mixed and set aside.

Prepare the Mashed Potato Topping:

While potatoes are boiling, heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet (or other ovenproof skillet) for 2 minutes over medium-high heat until the hot oil sizzles. Add onion and carrots, and sauté until fragrant and tender, about 2-3 minutes.

Add ground beef and stir well to cook evenly until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Use a spatula to break up the beef into small pieces to help with even browning and cooking.

Stir in garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper and stir together until well combined.

Add flour and stir well until fully combined with the beef mixture. No dry flour should be visible.

Add peas and beef broth. Stir occasionally and bring the mixture to a simmer, about 2 minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for another 2 minutes until thickened to a desired consistency, stirring occasionally.

Make the Beef Mixture:

Use a spatula to spread the beef mixture into an even layer on the same skillet. Carefully add spoonfuls of the mashed potatoes on top, and spread it evenly on top using a fork.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top turns golden brown. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Assemble and Bake the Shepherd's Pie:

My family loved this! I will definitely be making this again. The only thing I did different is to use frozen peas &amp; carrots. I didn't have any fresh carrots on hand.
