How to Make Awesome Shepherd S Pie

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed. Cook until tender but still firm, about 15-20 minutes.
2. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add 1/4 cup butter and mash until smooth and creamy.
3. Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
5. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
7. Add 1.5 lbs ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
8. Stir in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute.
9. Gradually whisk in 1 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, or your choice).
10. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
11. Transfer the beef mixture to a 2-quart casserole dish.
12. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the beef mixture.
13. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
