Ingredients
Scale
- 6 russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 115 grams butter
- 120 milliliters sour cream
- 120 milliliters whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
- 450 grams ground beef
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons plain flour
- 30 grams butter
- 240 milliliters beef broth
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 340 grams frozen mixed vegetables
- 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Peel, wash, and chop the russet potatoes into even pieces.
- Place potatoes in a large pot of cold water, bring to the boil over high heat, and cook until fork-tender, approximately 15 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, sour cream, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Mash thoroughly until smooth and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown ground beef with chopped onion. Season with salt, pepper, dried oregano, thyme, paprika, onion powder, and dried parsley.
- Once beef is browned, drain excess fat. Make a well in the center, add butter and flour, and stir to form a roux. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Pour in beef broth, then add minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce. Stir thoroughly and bring to a simmer.
- Add frozen mixed vegetables to the pan, mixing well. Cook until vegetables are tender and the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mixture.
- Preheat oven to 190°C. Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to a baking dish. Spread mashed potatoes evenly over the top, ensuring full coverage.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly golden. For extra browning, broil for an additional 1–2 minutes if desired. Garnish with additional parsley before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, use freshly chopped parsley as garnish.
- Ensure the potatoes are well mashed to create a creamy topping.
- Feel free to customize the vegetable mix according to your preference.
