How to Make Americanized Shepherd S Pie

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Peel and chop 2 lbs potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Add to a large pot and cover with salted water.
3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
4. Drain potatoes and return them to the pot. Add 1/4 cup butter and 1/2 cup milk. Mash until smooth and creamy.
5. Set mashed potatoes aside.
6. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes, until softened. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
7. Add 1.5 lbs ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
8. Stir in 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and 2 tablespoons ketchup.
9. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup beef broth and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour until smooth. Add to the beef mixture along with 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
10. Stir in 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup and 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
