this is a lot of freakin' work...

I seriously doubt Sheperds were actually making this in the fields.

With a clean up you wouldn't believe.

Ingredients

[LIST]
[*]2 lb. russet potatoes, peeled, sliced 1/2" thick
[*]Kosher salt
[*]2/3 cup half-and-half
[*]4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
[*]2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley, divided
[*]Freshly ground black pepper
[*]1 Tbsp. canola oil
[*]2 lb. lean ground beef (or lamb or goat)
[*]1 medium yellow onion, chopped
[*]2 medium carrots, peeled, chopped
[*]3 cloves garlic, chopped
[*]2 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary
[*]2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
[*]3 Tbsp. tomato paste
[*]1/2 cup dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon
[*]1 cup low-sodium beef broth
[*]3 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
[*]Cooking spray
[*]3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
[*]1 cup frozen corn
[*]1 cup frozen peas
[*]3 Tbsp. grated Parmesan
[*]Shredded Cheddar Cheese
[/LIST]

Directions

Step 1 Preheat oven to 400°. In a medium saucepan, cover potatoes with water by 1/2"; season with 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain potatoes; set aside in colander.

Step 2 In same pot over medium-low heat, cook half-and-half and butter, stirring until butter is melted. Return potatoes to pot. Mash potatoes with a potato masher or a fork. Stir in 1 tablespoon parsley & Cheddar Cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

Step 3 Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add beef; season with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Break up beef with a wooden spoon and cook until crumbled and no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beef to a plate. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons beef drippings.

Step 4 In same skillet over medium heat, cook onion and carrots, stirring, until onions begin to soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Add garlic, rosemary, and thyme and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes more. Return beef and accumulated juices to skillet; stir in tomato paste. Cook, stirring, until tomato paste turns dark red, 3 to 4 minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring, until almost completely evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in broth and Worcestershire and bring to a simmer. Sprinkle with flour and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in corn and peas.

Step 5 Pour beef mixture into a 13" x 9" pan and dollop mashed potatoes on top. Lightly spray a rubber spatula with cooking spray and spread potatoes over beef mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan; season with a pinch of pepper.

Step 6 Bake shepherd’s pie until beef mixture is bubbling, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Place a rack in upper third of oven and turn broiler to high. Broil until top begins to brown, 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 7 Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
