Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 pounds lean ground beef or lamb
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup beef stock
- 1 1/2 cups garden peas
- Cheesy Mashed Potatoes, recipe follows
Directions
Preheat oven at 400 degrees F.
Add butter and oil to a large skillet on medium heat. Saute onions, carrots, celery and garlic until tender for about 7 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Once the vegetables have softened and start to brown a little add the tomato paste and mix evenly. Add the ground beef and cook until beef is no longer pink about 10 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce and beef stock. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook and simmer for another 10 minutes. Mix in peas. Transfer mixture to an oven-proof baking dish and spread evenly. Place potato on top of ground beef mixture and spread out evenly, once the top surface has been covered, rake through with a fork so that there are peaks that will brown nicely. Place the dish into the preheated oven and cook until browned about 20 minutes. Spoon out the shepherd's pie and serve.
- Mashed Potatoes

THIS WAS SO GOOD. I ADDED SOME OF MY OWN SEASONING TO MY LIKING. I SUGGEST YOU TASTE THE MEAT AFTER IT'S COOKED TO SEE IF YOU NEED TO ADD ANYTHING. Sorry for the caps it was a accident. but anyways it came out good. the potatoes came out stiff. i like mine to be a little more whipped. so i added more milk to mine. but anyways it was really good. It's so easy and you can add whatever veggies you want to it. baby and the whole family enjoyed it.
