Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet. Add 1 finely chopped yellow onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
- Add 1 pound of ground beef or lamb to the skillet and cook for 7-8 minutes until browned.
- Season with 1 teaspoon each of dried parsley, rosemary, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and mix. Add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and 1 cup of beef broth, stirring until mixed. Simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
- Stir in 1 cup of frozen peas, 1 cup of frozen carrots, and 1 cup of frozen corn, cooking for 3-4 minutes until tender.
- Peel and chop 2 pounds of russet potatoes. Cover with water in a large pot and bring to boil. Cook for around 15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and return to pot.
- Add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of half & half, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the meat filling in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spoon the mashed potatoes on top, spreading with a spatula.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and filling is bubbling around edges.

Notes
Allow the meat filling to cool slightly before adding potatoes to prevent separation. Customize toppings with cheese for extra richness and texture.
