1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small chunks and add to a large pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil and reduce it to a simmer. Cook for 15 to 18 min or until a knife can cut through a piece of potato easily. Drain the potatoes and place them back in the pot and mash the potatoes with a potato masher. When most of the potatoes are broken up, add the butter, milk, parmesan cheese, garlic, and pepper. Continue mashing the potatoes until they are smooth.

2

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Add the olive oil to a large skillet and fry the chopped onions until soft. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Add the garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper and stir.

3

Sprinkle in the flour and mix until well combined. Add the Worcestershire, balsamic vinegar, steak sauce, tomato paste, and beef broth. Mix together and cook for 4 to 5 min. Add the frozen carrots and peas.

Pour the mixture into a 9×13-inch casserole dish and top with the potatoes. Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the oven for 30 min. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 min or until the top starts to brown.

Expert Tip:

As long as this recipe is made in a 9×13-inch casserole dish, you shouldn’t have to worry about it baking out of the pan. If you’re concerned about it, you can place a baking sheet under the dish to catch any overflow that may happen.

Storage Tip:

You should store Shepherd’s pie in the refrigerator. Wrap it in foil or plastic wrap to stay fresh for 4 to 5 days.
