  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
For the topping
  • 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 egg, beaten

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Large Pot
  • Potato masher or hand mixer

  • Knife and cutting board

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  4. Add the thyme, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet and stir well to combine.
  5. Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
  6. Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir well to combine. Let simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, in a separate pot, boil the potatoes until tender. Drain and mash with the milk, butter, salt, and black pepper.
  8. Spread the beef mixture evenly in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread the mashed potatoes over the top. Brush the beaten egg over the top of the mashed potatoes.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown.
