Instructions
Cook the beef:
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Prepare the filling:
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Assemble the pie:
Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread the prepared mashed potatoes evenly over the top, smoothing them with a spatula.
Top and bake:
Dot the mashed potatoes with butter. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling.
Serve:
Let the Shepherd’s Pie rest for 5 minutes before serving.
