How to Make Australian Shepherd's Pie
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1kg ground beef (or lamb), 1 large chopped onion, and 2 chopped carrots. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until the meat is browned and the vegetables are softened (about 10 minutes).
- Drain off any excess fat.
- Stir in 1 tbsp tomato paste, 1 cup beef broth, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- If the mixture is too thin, whisk 1-2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour into 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry. Stir the slurry into the meat mixture and cook until thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Pour the meat mixture into a large oven-safe casserole dish.
- Top with 1.5kg of creamy mashed potatoes (recipe below).
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- **Mashed Potato Recipe:** Boil 2kg potatoes until tender. Drain and mash with 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup butter, and salt and pepper to taste.
