Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, brown the Ground Beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the Onion and Carrots to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the Flour and cook for 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in the Beef Broth and Tomato Paste. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the Thyme, Salt, and Pepper. Add the Frozen Peas and cook for 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, boil the Sweet Potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash with Milk, Butter, Salt, and Nutmeg.
Pour the Beef Filling into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Spread the Sweet Potato Topping evenly over the filling.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
