Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Lamb
  • 1 cup Chopped Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 1 cup Frozen Peas
  • 1 cup Frozen Carrots
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet, brown the ground lamb over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 1 minute more.
  • Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Add the frozen peas and carrots. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • While the meat sauce is simmering, prepare the mashed potatoes. Boil the potatoes until tender. Drain and mash with milk, butter, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour the meat sauce into a baking dish. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mashed potatoes are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Feel free to add other vegetables to the meat sauce, such as celery or mushrooms.
