Instructions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch dice. Place in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water.
Step 2
Set over high heat, cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, uncover, decrease the heat to low to maintain a simmer and cook until tender and easily crushed with tongs, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 3
Drain potatoes. Mash the potatoes and then add the butter, salt and pepper and continue to mash until smooth.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 5
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the filling. Place the canola oil into a 12-inch saute pan and set over medium high heat.
Step 6
Once the oil shimmers, add the onion and carrots and saute just until they begin to take on color, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 7
Add the garlic and stir to combine.
Step 8
Add the ground beef, salt and pepper and cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 3 minutes.
Step 9
Sprinkle the meat with the flour and toss to coat, continuing to cook for another minute.
Step 10
Add the tomato paste, chicken broth, Worcestershire, rosemary, thyme, and stir to combine.
Step 11
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer slowly 10 to 12 minutes or until the sauce is thickened slightly.
Step 12
Add the corn and peas to the lamb mixture and spread evenly into an 11 by 7-inch glass baking dish.
Step 13
Top with the mashed potatoes, starting around the edges to create a seal to prevent the mixture from bubbling up and smooth with a rubber spatula.
Step 14
Place on a parchment lined half sheet pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25 minutes or just until the potatoes begin to brown.
Step 15
Remove to a cooling rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
