How to Make Amy S Shepherd S Pie

1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter or heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large stockpot or saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 large chopped onion and 2 chopped carrots; sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of beef broth, bringing to a simmer. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
4. Add 1 pound ground beef, 1 (15-ounce) can of tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and salt and pepper to taste.
5. Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
6. (Optional) At this point, you can cool the meat mixture completely and freeze it in freezer bags for later use.
7. (Optional) Freeze mashed potatoes separately in freezer bags. Thaw both overnight in the refrigerator before assembling.
8. To serve immediately, spoon the meat mixture into oven-safe dishes. Top with mashed potatoes and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
9. Alternatively, serve the meat mixture directly from the pot with a generous serving of mashed potatoes on the side.
