Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onions for 5 minutes. Then, add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Set onions and garlic aside and in the same skillet, add ground meat. Cook and stir for 6-8 minutes until thoroughly browned. Drain & rinse meat in a colander.
- Add meat back in the skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Then, stir in flour, and tomato paste. Stir until completely well incorporated
- Stir in broth (or wine), peas, carrots, tomatoes and corn. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Evenly smooth meat mixture onto bottom of the skillet (or press into the bottom of a 9x9"inch baking dish). Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top.
- Potatoes: Heat broth, butter, and salt in a bowl in the microwave until hot. Stir in sour cream and potato flakes and mix with a fork. Let sit until liquid has been fully absorbed. (Note: the potatoes need to be thick to pipe perfect peaks.
- Use a "star tip" on a piping bag (or a Ziploc bag with corner snipped). Fill bag and pipe potatoes into skillet or baking dish, covering the meat.
- Sprinkle chopped onions & pepper on top.
- Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
- Serve hot.
