Instructions
Make the Meat Filling.
Add the oil to a large skillet and place it over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the onions. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Add the salt, and and pepper. Cook for about 8 minutes, until the meat is browned, stirring occasionally.
Add the Worcestershire sauce and garlic. Stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute.
Add the flour and tomato paste and stir until well incorporated.
Add the broth and bring the liquid to a boil then reduce to simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the frozen peas and corn when the liquid has almost completely evaporated.
Set the meat mixture aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the peeled and cut potatoes with lots of salt. Reduce to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are fork tender, 10-15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes in a strainer. Return the potatoes to the hot pot. Let the potatoes rest in the hot pot for 1 minute to evaporate any remaining liquid.
Add butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Mash the potatoes and stir until all the ingredients are mixed together.
Assemble the pie.
Pour the meat mixture into a baking dish. Spread it out into an even layer. Spoon the mashed potatoes on top of the meat. Carefully spread into an even layer. Use a fork to draw lines and add texture.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. Broil for additional 5 minutes. Cool for 10-15 minutes before serving and enjoy!
