Print Recipe

A cozy, homemade Shepherd’s Pie packed with rich, savory lamb filling and topped with creamy mashed potatoes, perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground lamb (or ground beef for Cottage Pie)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup frozen carrots
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • ½ cup frozen corn
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried)
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary (or ½ tsp dried)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp all-purpose seasoning (Cooking With Tammy Brand)
  • 2 lbs potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet), peeled and diced
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • ½ cup heavy cream (or milk)
  • ½ cup shredded cheese of choice (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until softened.
  3. Add ground lamb and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
  4. Stir in frozen carrots, peas, and corn; cook for a few minutes until vegetables are heated through.
  5. Mix in tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, all-purpose seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer until mixture thickens slightly.
  6. Meanwhile, boil peeled and diced potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.
  7. Drain potatoes and mash with butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  8. Spread the meat mixture evenly in a baking dish. Top with mashed potatoes, spreading to cover completely. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top if using.
  9. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden and crispy.
  10. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use lamb instead of beef. Adding cheese on top of the mashed potatoes creates a delicious golden crust. Leftovers reheat well and make great meal prep.
