Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 lbs potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Boil the potatoes until tender. Drain and mash them with milk and butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
  4. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Stir in the frozen peas, frozen corn, condensed tomato soup, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Pour the meat and vegetable mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  8. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top of the meat mixture.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Notes

  • For an extra creamy mash, add a tablespoon of sour cream or cream cheese.
  • You can substitute lamb for beef to make a traditional cottage pie.
  • Add other vegetables like green beans or mushrooms if you like.
