A comforting and hearty dish perfect for family dinners, featuring a savory meat filling topped with creamy mashed potatoes and melted cheese.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a perfect finish.
In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the minced garlic, diced onion, and chopped carrots, and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Mix in the tomato paste, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the peas and remove from heat.
Adding the peas last keeps them vibrant and fresh.
Transfer the filling mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Press down gently to create a flat surface for the topping.
Boil the potatoes in a pot of salted water until tender. Drain and mash with milk and butter until smooth.
For extra creaminess, use a hand mixer to whip the potatoes.
Spread the mashed potatoes over the filling, covering it completely. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese on top.
Use a fork to create ridges on the potato surface for a crispy texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.
Place the dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
Let the Shepherd's Pie cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade meal!
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
