Ingredients

1 pound ground beef

1 small (¹/₂ cup) onion, chopped

3 tablespoons tomato paste

1 ¹/₂ teaspoons kosher salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups beef broth

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 (10-ounce) bag frozen mixed vegetables

1 (20- to 24-ounce) package (2 ¹/₂ to 3 cups) mashed potatoes

1 (8-ounce) package (2 cups) Land O Lakes® Sharp White Cheddar Cheese, shredded

1 Half Stick (1/4 cup) Land O Lakes® Butter, melted

Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

How to make

STEP 1

Heat oven to 375°F.
STEP 2

Cook beef and onion in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally and breaking beef into pieces, 9-10 minutes or until beef is browned. Reduce heat to medium; clear small space in middle of pan. Add tomato paste, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir 30 seconds before mixing into beef.
STEP 3

Sprinkle flour evenly over beef mixture; stir to combine. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until mixture has thickened to gravy consistency. Turn off heat; stir in vegetables. Spread into 3-quart casserole or 9-inch square baking dish.
STEP 4

Combine mashed potatoes, cheese and melted butter in medium bowl; spread evenly over beef mixture. Run fork tines over potatoes to create texture for better browning. Bake uncovered 15 minutes or until heated through.
STEP 5

Adjust oven to broil. Broil casserole until potatoes are golden brown around edges and in spots on top. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Tip #1

Use refrigerated mashed potatoes to save time—a 24-ounce container mixed with melted butter and sharp Cheddar cheese takes this topping to another level.

Tip #2

Substitute ground lamb for the beef if you want an authentic Irish-style shepherd’s pie.
