Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 cup peas
- 1 cup carrots
- 1 cup beef broth
- Salt
- Pepper
- Thyme (optional)
- Rosemary (optional)
- Mashed potatoes (homemade or store-bought)
- Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown 1 pound of ground beef, stirring frequently until fully cooked.
- Add 1 cup of diced onion and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet and cook until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup of peas and carrots (or your choice of veggies) and cook for a few minutes.
- Pour in 1 cup of beef broth and season with salt, pepper, and any herbs you like. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- While the meat mixture is simmering, prepare your mashed potatoes according to your preference.
- In a muffin tin, spoon the meat mixture into the bottom of each cup, filling them about halfway.
- Top with a generous dollop of mashed potatoes, smoothing them out with the back of a spoon.
- If using cheese, sprinkle some shredded cheddar on top of the mashed potatoes.
- Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Once done, let the mini shepherd’s pies cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm and enjoy!
