Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3-4 large carrots, finely diced
- 1 large onion, finely diced
- 1 pound ground beef
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/4 cup red wine
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 6 cups mashed potatoes (fresh or leftover)
- 1 egg, beaten
- grated parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large sauté pan until hot. Sauté carrots in the olive oil until starting to get tender, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in onions and sauté for a minute or two, then add ground beef; season with salt and black pepper; add thyme; cook until the meat is browned; drain.
- Reduce to medium heat; add the butter and peas; stir until the butter is melted.
- Sprinkle with flour and stir until well blended.
- Add tomato paste, wine and Worcestershire sauce.
- Cook until the mixture reduces slightly, then add the chicken broth. Allow the filling to thicken and season with more salt and pepper if desired.
- Remove from heat. Transfer the filling to an slightly greased baking dish; spoon or pipe the mashed potatoes over top. Brush the surface with the beaten egg and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if using.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the potato is golden brown. Enjoy!
