Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the ground beef mixture:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

800 grams ground beef<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 tablespoon olive oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 onion, chopped<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 cloves garlic, minced<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 bell pepper, chopped (optional)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 teaspoon dried oregano<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 teaspoon paprika<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n

400 grams chopped tomatoes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

100 ml water<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 bay leaves<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the potato topping:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 kg potatoes, peeled and quartered<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/2 cup milk (or vegetable broth for a vegan option)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

25 grams butter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n

100 g shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make the ground beef mixture: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the chopped garlic, bell pepper (if using), oregano, and paprika to the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly, to allow the flavors to meld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour in the chopped tomatoes, water, and bay leaves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the meat mixture simmers, prepare the potato topping: In a large pot, cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or hand mixer. Add the milk or vegetable broth and butter. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transfer the ground beef mixture to a baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes, spreading them evenly to cover the meat mixture completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Optional) Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the mashed potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let the shepherd’s pie cool for slightly before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use any type of ground meat you like for this recipe, such as ground lamb, ground turkey, or even ground sausage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
