Bake for mins until the top is starting to colour and the mince is bubbling through at the edges. Flash under the grill to brown, if you like.

Carrots should be cooked with the onions, because they take as long to cook as the onions do. If you are including peas or corn, add them toward the end of the cooking of the onions, or after the meat starts to cook, as they take very little cooking time.
Add ground beef to the pan with the onions and vegetables. Cook until no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper. Add the Worcestershire sauce and beef broth. Bring the broth to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, adding more beef broth if necessary to keep the meat from drying out. When the potatoes are done cooking a fork can easily pierce , remove them from the pot and place them in a bowl with the remaining 4 Tbsp of butter. Mash with a fork or potato masher, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread the beef, onions, and vegetables if using in an even layer in a large baking dish 9x13 casserole. Spread the mashed potatoes over the top of the ground beef. Rough up the surface of the mashed potatoes with a fork so there are peaks that will get well browned. You can even use a fork to make creative designs in the mashed potatoes. If necessary, broil for the last few minutes to help the surface of the mashed potatoes brown. Be careful when broiling using Pyrex or glass dishes, they have been known to shatter under the high heat of the broiler.
It's not a worry if you are using a ceramic or metal casserole dish. Suggested variations:. Put a layer of creamed corn between the ground beef and the mashed potatoes. Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the top of the mashed potatoes before baking. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data. Select personalised content.

Simmer until thickened. Put in a 2 quart casserole dish cover with mashed potatoes and whatever else you like I add slivers of butter to the potatoes and bake at for 20 minutes.
I made a lot of shepherd's Pie and this is my favortie. If you don't have beef broth use brown gravy mix with one cup water, but honetly, the broth is good too. If making for only adults I will also sometimes add a little HP sauce to the meat mix Also, although the carrots are very nice, you could use frozen corn and or peas instead of carrot my kids prefer. But if making for adults, I find they tend to prefer the mashed carrot over the peas and corn, myself included.
After my husband tasted the one I made with carrot he said "That's the best cottage pie I've ever tasted!!! And he's English! There is something very comforting about the combo of carrots and potato.
Great idea to mix in cheese and onion to the potatoes. My hubby always asks his mom to bake her famous Shepherd's Pie when we go to visit. I have never made it for fear that it would not be as good as hers and he wouldn't want to eat it.
This recipe was fantastic, and everyone gobbled three helpings! I followed some of the other suggestions here and cooked potatoes and carrots together in the same pot. I used green onion in the mashed potatoes. I used 1 packet of brown gravy mix with 1 cup water instead of the beef broth as suggested. And I mixed the ground beef with about a cup of frozen mixed veggies peas and corn. Everyone loved it; it was definitely a huge hit! I've made this so many times that I must give everyone my updates.
First, I season the beef with whatever I have on hand onion powder, garlic powder, seasoning salt, meat magic, etc. I use canned veggies drained , and then top it with instant potatoes. I use either 4 cheese or roasted garlic! Then I top with about 1 cup of cheese any cheddar mix will do. The result is delicious AND it is sooooooo much faster!!! Great weekday meal for the meat-and-potatoes type family! I've also made it with the brown gravy instead of the beef broth - husband did NOT like that Gravy gives it almost a beef stew texture.
Update 2: I also use the bagged steamed veggies that I've become a huge fan of. And yes, it does taste better if you use real onion and garlic.. Rating: 1 stars.
