Ingredients:
1 lb ground lamb
1 lb ground beef
1 large onion chopped
Salt
Pepper
2 cups beef bouillon
1 TBSP Soy Sauce
1 TBSP Ketchup
2 TBSP Cornstarch
2 cups frozen peas and carrots
5 potatoes boiled and mashed
4 TBSP butter
Splash of milk
1 egg
Make it:
Peel the potatoes in salted water and boil them until they are soft. Drain and reserve 2 cups of potato water. Mash the potatoes with a fork or potato masher. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and a splash of milk to the potatoes and mix with spatula until the potatoes are mashed. Set them aside.
Using the reserved hot potato water make 2 cups of beef bouillon and set it aside.
For the filling, saute the onions in a tablespoon of avocado oil for about 3 minutes, add the ground beef and ground lamb to the pan and brown. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix the soy sauce and ketchup together (you can also use 2 tablespoon of Worchester sauce instead) and add the mixture to the meat along with 1.5 cups of the beef bouillon. Continue cooking for 3 minutes.
Push the meat mixture to the sides of the pan and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the center of the pan and let it melt. Stir it together.
To the remaining beef bouillon, add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and mix well.
Gradually pour into the meat mixture stirring slowly to thicken about 5 minutes on medium low heat.
Add the frozen vegetables to the meat mixture and cook another 5 minutes.
Meanwhile preheat the oven to 350.
Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.
Spread the meat and vegetable mixture into the casserole dish. Cover it with the mashed potatoes and smooth the surface with a butter knife or spatula. Then create decorative lines into the mashed potatoes. Conversely you can pipe the potatoes on to the meat mixture with a pastry bag.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and brush it on top of the potatoes.
Bake for 25 minutes until the top is brown. For a crispier topping, broil for 3-5 minutes.
