Ingredients Checklist (Tap as You Prep)

• 1.5 lbs ground lamb
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the ground lamb and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
3. Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes, until the liquid has thickened slightly.
4. Stir in the frozen peas and carrots. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 2 minutes, until the peas and carrots are tender.
5. Transfer the lamb mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake the shepherd's pie in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
