Classic Shepherd's Pie Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
• 0.25 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• salt and pepper to taste
• 5 carrots, chopped
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 0.75 cup beef broth
• 0.25 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Collect all of your necessary ingredients.
2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for approximately 15 minutes, ensuring they are tender but slightly firm. Drain the water and mash the potatoes. Incorporate butter, finely chopped onion, and 1/4 cup of shredded cheese. Season to your liking with salt and pepper, then set the mixture aside.
3. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add carrots and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, mash, and set aside. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4. In a large frying pan, heat the oil. Add the onion and cook until it becomes translucent. Incorporate the ground beef and cook until it is thoroughly browned. Drain any excess fat, then mix in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the ketchup and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
5. In a 2-quart casserole dish, evenly spread the ground beef mixture on the bottom. Next, add a layer of mashed carrots. Top with the mashed potato mixture, and sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Serve immediately and enjoy your Shepherd's Pie!
