A comforting and flavorful shepherd's pie recipe with a unique twist to elevate its taste and presentation.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking and saves time later.
In a dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned.
Break up the beef into small pieces for even cooking.
Add the chopped onion and diced carrots to the beef and cook until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Stir in the frozen peas and gravy, mixing well.
Ensure the gravy coats all the ingredients for a rich flavor.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish.
Spread the mixture evenly for a uniform base.
Boil the potatoes until tender, then mash them with butter.
For extra creamy potatoes, add a splash of milk while mashing.
Spread the mashed potatoes over the beef mixture in the baking dish.
Use a spoon to create decorative swirls on the potato topping.
Sprinkle smoked paprika over the mashed potatoes.
The paprika adds a pop of color and a hint of smokiness.
Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling.
Place the baking dish on a tray to catch any drips.
Let the shepherd's pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
Cooling allows the filling to set, making it easier to serve.
