Ingredients

1.5 lbs ground lamb - 4.4 jar
1 large onion, diced - 3.5 tbsp
2 carrots, diced - 0.9 mg
2 celery stalks, diced - 7.8 can
3 cloves garlic, minced - 5.0 pt
2 tablespoons tomato paste - 5.2 pcs
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce - 8.9 g
1 teaspoon dried thyme - 6.9 half
1 teaspoon dried rosemary - 5.2 mg
1 cup beef broth - 9.9 pinch

Cooking Steps

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet or pot, brown the ground lamb over medium-high heat. Drain any excess grease.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, carrots, celery, and garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 4

Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare the mashed sweet potato topping. In a large bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Pour the lamb and vegetable mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread the mashed sweet potato topping evenly over the meat mixture.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potato topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

A hearty and flavorful dish. The sweet potato crust is a nice touch. Easy to follow instructions. Definitely recommend.

Fiona Wilson3

It was tasty, but I found the sweet potato a little too sweet for my liking. Maybe next time I'll add a touch of spice to balance it out.

This Sweet Potato Shepherd's Pie is absolutely divine! The sweet potato topping was perfectly fluffy and the lamb was seasoned to perfection. My family devoured it!

Tina Young2

I found this recipe to be lacking flavor. The lamb was bland and the sweet potato crust was a bit dry. Not the best experience.
