Ingredients: 1 lb (450g) ground beef; 1 onion, diced; 2 carrots, peeled and chopped; 2 celery stalks, sliced; 2 cloves of garlic, minced; 2 cups (480ml) beef broth; 2 tablespoons tomato paste; 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; Salt and black pepper, to taste; 4 cups (960g) mashed potatoes; 1/4 cup (60ml) milk; 2 tablespoons butter; Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Break up the beef into smaller pieces as it cooks.
Add the diced onion, chopped carrots, sliced celery, and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Saute the vegetables for about 5 minutes, or until they start to soften.
Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
While the beef and vegetable mixture is simmering, prepare the mashed potatoes. Boil the peeled and chopped potatoes until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes, then mash them with milk, butter, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spoon the beef and vegetable mixture into a baking dish, spread it out evenly. Dollop the mashed potatoes on top of the mixture, spreading them out with a spatula to cover the surface completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the mashed potatoes are lightly golden brown on top and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Once done baking, let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
