Meat Filling and Sauce:
- 1 tsp olive oil
- ½ sweet yellow onion diced
- 2 large carrots diced
- 2 stalks of celery diced
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1½ lbs of lean ground beef I used 96/4
- 1-2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup frozen peas thawed
- 1-2 tsp dried thyme
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp Irish garlic and herb butter or regular butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1¼ cup beef broth
Instructions
- Make the mashed potato topping by boiling a large pot of water. Peel the potatoes and cut them into thirds. Boil the potatoes for 10-12 minutes or until fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes and place them back into the pan.
- Add the milk, sour cream, butter, cheddar cheese, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper then mash with a masher or blend with a mixer until creamy and smooth. Cover with a lid and set aside.
- While the potatoes are cooking, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Make the filling by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery then cook until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the lean ground beef and cook thoroughly. Add the thyme, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Once the beef is done cooking, mix the peas into the mixture until well combined. Pour the beef filling into a large baking dish and set aside.
- In the same skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of Irish butter and 2 tablespoons of flour. Mix thoroughly then slowly add the beef broth. Season with sea salt and pepper.
- Pour the sauce over the beef mixture and mix thoroughly. Top the beef and vegetable mixture with the mashed potatoes.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Top with chopped chives. Enjoy.
