How to Make Ground Beef Shepherd's Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Add the onion and carrots to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Add the mixed vegetables (or your chosen combination of peas and corn) and cook for another 3-5 minutes until heated through.
  6. Pour the beef mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. In a separate bowl, mash the potatoes until smooth. Stir in the butter and milk until creamy.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the beef mixture.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  11. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
