Creating Delicious Shepherd’s Pie is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Sauté Ingredients: In a large skillet, heat a splash of oil. Add the onions and garlic, cooking until soft.
3. Cook Meat: Add the ground lamb or beef. Brown the meat, breaking it up with a spoon until fully cooked.
4. Add Vegetables: Stir in the carrots and cook for about 5 minutes. Then, add the frozen peas and mix well.
5. Season the Mixture: Add the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
6. Add Broth: Pour in the broth and allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
7. Transfer Filling: Spoon the meat mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly.
8. Layer with Mashed Potatoes: Top the filling with an even layer of mashed potatoes, smoothing with a spatula.
9. Sprinkle Cheese: If using cheese, sprinkle it generously over the top layer of potatoes.
10. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling.
11. Cool: Once baked, let the pie cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to help set the pie.

These steps will guide you through the delightful process of making Delicious Shepherd’s Pie effortlessly.
