Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 2-3 cups baby carrots chopped
- 1 medium yellow onion finely diced
- 3 tbsp can tomato paste
- 1 lb red or gold baby potatoes
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup chicken stock
- 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp dried rosemary
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp butter
- Splash of half and half
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉.
- To a large pot, add water, a heavy pinch of salt, and potatoes. Bring the water to a boil and cook for 20-25 minutes until soft. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, preheat a large pan to medium heat, and once hot, add 1 tbsp of oil. Add the carrots and onions and sauté for about 5-7 min until soft.
- Add ground beef and cook for about 7 min until fully brown. Drain out any excess grease before adding in your seasoning.
- Once the grease is drained, add dried rosemary, dried thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Add the tomato paste, chicken stock, and Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture. Mix well and simmer for a few minutes to let the flavors come together.
- Place the drained potatoes back in the pot and add a splash of cream and the butter and smash. Then add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and some dried thyme. Taste it and add more seasoning as necessary.
- Finally, add the meat mixture to a baking dish, followed by the finished potatoes on top and spread evenly. I topped mine with some freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese and some more dried thyme.
- Place in the oven for about 15-20 min until the cheese has melted and starts to look golden brown. Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end. Serve immediately and enjoy!!
