How to Make Beef And Sweet Potato Shepherd S Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Add the diced tomatoes (undrained), beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
  7. While the beef mixture simmers, boil the sweet potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
  8. Mash the sweet potatoes with milk and butter until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
  9. Spoon the sweet potato mash over the beef mixture in the skillet.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potato mash is lightly browned and the filling is bubbly.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
