1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
4 cups mashed potatoes (prepared in advance)
1 tablespoon butter (for topping)
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)
Making the Filling
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned. Break it apart as it cooks.
Drain excess fat, then add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in peas, carrots, beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until everything is well combined.
Assembling the Shepherd’s Pie
Transfer the beef mixture into a baking dish (9x9-inch or similar).
Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top, covering the filling completely.
Dot with butter and top with shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.
Baking
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
