1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
AI Wisdom: Ensure the oven is fully preheated before roasting. -
2
In a large pot, cover potatoes with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and simmer until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
AI Wisdom: Potatoes should be fork-tender when done. -
3
Mash potatoes with 2 tablespoons of butter and warm milk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
AI Wisdom: Mash until no lumps remain for a silky texture. -
4
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery. Saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
AI Wisdom: Vegetables should be softened but not browned. -
5
Add ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
AI Wisdom: Ensure the beef is fully cooked through. -
6
Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Add peas and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
AI Wisdom: Adjust seasoning according to taste. -
7
Transfer the beef mixture to a baking dish. Spread the mashed potatoes over the top evenly. Create a decorative pattern with a fork.
AI Wisdom: Creating ridges with a fork allows for crispy edges. -
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
AI Wisdom: Look for a nicely browned and crispy potato topping. -
9
Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving to set the filling and make it easier to slice.
AI Wisdom: Resting helps the flavors meld together.
