Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). In a large pan over medium-high heat, cook the ground lamb or beef until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
2
Add the chopped onion, carrots, and peas to the pan and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
3
Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
4
While the filling is cooking, prepare the mashed potatoes. Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and mash with butter, salt, and pepper.
5
Transfer the filling to a 9x13 inch baking dish and top with the mashed potatoes. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top of the potatoes.
6
Bake the Shepherd's Pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
