A comforting and flavorful dish perfect for family dinners.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a consistent result.
In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the diced onion and carrot, cooking until softened.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Stir in the garlic powder, black pepper, salt, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and peas. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes.
Adjust seasoning to taste for a personalized flavor.
Transfer the filling mixture to a baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Ensure an even layer for a uniform bake.
Boil the potatoes until tender, then mash them with butter and milk until smooth.
For extra creaminess, use a hand mixer to mash the potatoes.
Spread the mashed potatoes over the filling in the baking dish. Sprinkle with paprika and shredded cheddar cheese.
Use a spatula to create decorative swirls on the potato topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Place the baking dish on a tray to catch any drips.
Let the pie cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious meal!
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
