Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1.5 pounds ground beef or ground lamb
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 each carrots, diced
1 cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon Ellbee's Sweet & Smoky Gourmet Garlic
2 teaspoons Ellbee's Zesty Gourmet Garlic
1 tablespoon Ellbee's Tomato Basil Balsamic Vinegar
1 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
5 cups prepared mashed potatoes
0.5 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, optional

Method

Heat oven to 400°F. Brown the beef in an oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven. Add onion and carrots, then cook until softened.
Stir in Sweet & Smoky Garlic, Zesty Garlic, Tomato Basil Balsamic, broth, tomato paste, and peas. Simmer until the filling is thick and glossy, about 8 minutes.
Spread mashed potatoes over the filling, creating little peaks with a fork. Sprinkle with cheddar if using.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until bubbling at the edges and golden on top. Rest 10 minutes before scooping.

Notes

Time: 65 min

Kitchen tip: A cast-iron skillet makes this a true one-pan meal. If your mashed potatoes are cold, warm them slightly first so they spread without pulling up the filling.
