Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté diced onions and carrots for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned, approximately 7-10 minutes. Stir in peas and gravy, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, then let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a hint of nutmeg to create a tasty topping. Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning as necessary.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a greased baking dish, layer the savory meat filling evenly at the bottom, and spoon the creamy pumpkin mixture on top, spreading it out to cover the filling.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling gently around the edges.

Notes
Consider freezing the filling and topping separately for best results. This Pumpkin Shepherd’s Pie offers great storage options and remains flavorful when reheated.
