A delightful twist on the classic shepherd's pie, featuring a rich beef filling and a golden mashed potato topping.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a golden topping.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the diced onion and carrot until softened.
Cook the vegetables until they release their natural sweetness.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
Ensure the beef is evenly browned for a rich flavor.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, peas, salt, and pepper. Cook for a few more minutes.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
Transfer the beef mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Press the mixture down gently for an even layer.
Boil the potatoes in a pot of salted water until tender, then drain and mash with milk and butter.
Mash the potatoes until smooth for a creamy topping.
Spread the mashed potatoes over the beef mixture, creating peaks with a fork.
The peaks will crisp up beautifully in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Keep an eye on the pie to prevent over-browning.
Let the pie cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious cottage pie!
Allowing the pie to rest helps it set for easier serving.
