This is a recipe from my Gram who is English. She served this often, and I have modified her recipe for my family and this is it. A great alternative to Shepherd's Pie.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered

  • 6 tablespoons butter, divided

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • 1 tablespoon herbes de Provence

  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1 ½ cups frozen peas

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 inch deep-dish pie plate.

  2. Place potatoes into a pot; cover with salted water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover; simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain; mash with 2 tablespoons of the butter and the garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside.

  3. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, herbes de Provence, and nutmeg; cook and stir until beef is lightly brown and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Spread the beef evenly in the prepared pie plate. Cover evenly with the peas; spread the mashed potatoes over the peas. Dot the casserole with the remaining butter.

  4. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until heated through and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
