Shepherd's Pie

Ingredients

Mashed Potatoes
4 medium to large potatoes
1/4 cup milk
2 tbsp melted butter
1 egg yolk
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Filling
2 tbsp canola oil
450g ground beef
1/2 large onion
2 gloves of garlic
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
1 tsp A1 Steak Sauce
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper
2 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp dried rosemary
1/2 tsp dried thyme
3/4 cup cheddar cheese

Directions
Peel and boil potatoes until they can easily be pierced with a fork (approximately 15 minutes). Drain potatoes and return to pot. Mash using a fork or potato masher and then add butter, milk, salt and pepper. Finally, stir in yolk until well combined.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

While the potatoes are cooking, heat oil in a pan over medium high heat. Once oil is hot, add chopped onion and sauté until soft, about 3-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and beef. Season the beef with salt and pepper, and cook until brown. Sprinkle flour on top of the meat and combine. Cook for another minute or two. Add chicken broth, A1, rosemary, thyme, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer slowly 10 to 12 minutes or until the sauce is thickened slightly.

Next, add frozen veggies and stir to combine. Spread the mixture on the bottom of an 11x7 inch baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes, using a rubber spatula. Sprinkle cheese over top. Place pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25 minutes or just until the potatoes begin to brown. Remove and let cool for at least 15 minutes. 

Spoon into a bowl or dish and enjoy!
