Method
- Spray a 9”x13” casserole pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add the oil to a large skillet and place it over medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots, mushrooms, and garlic and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour into the prepared casserole dish.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and brown for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the flour and stir until well incorporated for two minutes.
- Add the broth and frozen peas. Bring the liquid to a boil then reduce to simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour the meat mixture into the casserole dish with the vegetables and stir to combine. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot. Cover the potatoes with water. Bring the water to a boil and cook until potatoes are fork tender, 25-30 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander. Place potatoes back into the hot pot and add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash the potatoes and stir until all the ingredients are mixed together.
- Spread the mashed potatoes on top of the meat/vegetable mixture in the pan until fully covered. Place in the hot oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until sides begin to bubble.
