Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 sweet onion diced
- 0.8 lbs ground beef
- salt and pepper to taste
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 454 grams mushrooms diced finely, approximately 5 cups worth after diced.
- 1 broccoli crown cut into small florets
- 2 carrots diced finely
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1-1.5 cup peas
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
Instructions
- In a pan on medium heat, add in some olive oil and onions. Let the onions sweat out for 2-3 minutes before adding in the ground beef.
- Once the ground beef starts to brown, add your salt and pepper. Give it a good stir before adding in the minced garlic.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes before adding in mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, tomato paste, and Worcestershire Sauce.
- Continue cooking and stirring for another 4-5 minutes until the beef is cooked all the way through and your vegetables are tender or cooked to your liking.
- Right before you are done, stir in your frozen peas. After they’ve been heated through, take the dish off the heat.
- Portion into your meal prep containers and then top with some mashed potatoes.
Notes
- I add my broccoli and carrot closer to the end because I want them to still have a crunch to them. However, if you prefer your vegetables to be softer, add them earlier such as with the onions.
- I skipped the traditional flour + broth simmer route for this shepherd’s pie rendition as I wanted to cut down on time. Traditionally, you add in flour and broth and then summer for up to 20 – 30 minutes to make a thick sauce for shepherd’s pie – if you have an extra 20 – 30 minutes, you can totally go for it but this recipe was designed to be quicker for weekly meal prep sessions. It’s totally up to you! 🙂
- The easiest way that I make mashed potatoes is I cut + peel ~1 lb of russet potatoes and put it in a Dutch Oven with water. Bring it to a boil and then simmer until the potatoes are tender. Drain the water, mash with a masher and add up to 1/2 cup of milk and a bit of butter, mix until it’s smooth.
- The mushrooms are 454 grams = 1 lbs. My grocery store packages mushrooms in 227 grams packages and I used two.
