3-Ingredient Baked Breakfast

• , breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.
• Add the diced onions, garlic, and carrots to the pan. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
• Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the tomato paste to darken slightly.
• Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Add the peas in the last few minutes and stir them in.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

3. Assemble the Shepherd’s Pie:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Transfer the meat and vegetable mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
• Spoon the mashed potatoes over the top of the meat mixture. Use a spatula to spread the potatoes into an even layer, making sure to cover the edges so the filling doesn’t bubble over.
• Use a fork to lightly score the top of the mashed potatoes to create a textured surface (this will help them brown nicely in the oven).

4. Bake:

• Place the assembled Shepherd’s Pie in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
• For extra browning, you can broil the top for 2-3 minutes (keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn!).

5. Serve:

• Let the Shepherd’s Pie rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
• Enjoy the warm, comforting layers of savory meat, vegetables, and creamy mashed potatoes!

This Shepherd’s Pie is the perfect meal for a cozy dinner. It’s filling, flavorful, and always a crowd-pleaser!
