  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 large russet potatoes
– 1 pound ground lamb or beef
– 1 cup diced onions
– 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon tomato paste
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup milk
– ¼ cup butter


Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your delicious Shepherd’s Pie Baked Potato:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and prick them all over with a fork. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until tender.
3. Cook Meat Filling: While the potatoes are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground lamb or beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
4. Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced onions and garlic. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well, then add the frozen peas and carrots. Let simmer for 10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
6. Mash Potatoes: When the potatoes are done, carefully remove them from the oven. Cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out a portion of the insides, leaving a thin layer of potato skin. Be careful not to tear the skins.
7. Make Mashed Potatoes: In a bowl, combine the scooped potato with milk and butter. Mash until smooth and creamy.
8. Stuff Potatoes: Fill each potato half with a generous scoop of the meat and vegetable mixture. Top with a layer of mashed potatoes.
9. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of each filled potato.
10. Bake Again: Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

These straightforward steps will guide you in creating a delectable Shepherd’s Pie Baked Potato that will delight your taste buds.
