Ingredients
- 7 1/10 oz cheddar cheese
- 1 1/10 lb ground beef
- 4 pcs potatoes
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 1/10 pt milk
- 1 pcs onion
- 1 pcs carrot
- 1/2 cup peas
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 392°F (400°F).
- 2In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5‑7 minutes.
- 3Add the diced onion, carrot, and peas to the skillet; sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 3‑4 minutes.
- 4Season the meat and vegetable mixture with salt and black pepper to taste; stir to combine and remove from heat.
- 5While the meat cooks, place the peeled and diced potatoes in a pot of cold water, bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 12‑15 minutes.
- 6Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot; mash with butter and milk until smooth and creamy, seasoning with a pinch of salt if desired.
- 7Spread the seasoned meat mixture evenly in a greased baking dish, then layer the mashed potatoes on top, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
- 8Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potato topping.
- 9Bake the assembled pie in the preheated oven for 25‑30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbling.
- 10Remove from the oven and let the shepherd's pie rest for 5 minutes to set before serving.
