Sweet Potato Shepards Pie

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Sweet Potatoes peeled and chopped

  • ½ Tsp Italian Seasoning Blend

  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste

The Filling:

  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil

  • 1 Medium Yellow Onion diced

  • 1½ lbs Lean Ground Beef or Turkey

  • 2 Tbsp Tomato Paste

  • 3-4 Garlic Cloves minced

  • ½ Tsp Dried Oregano

  • 1 Tbsp Smoked Paprika

  • 1 Cup Chicken or Beef Broth

  • 1 Cup Frozen Peas or any other veggies like corn, carrots, defrosted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F

  • Place the sweet potatoes in a large saucepan with just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender. About 10 minutes.

  • Drain and mash, then season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning blend.

  • Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions for 3-4 minutes, then stir in the garlic and cook for a minute or so.

  • Add the ground meat and cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until the meat is cooked through.

  • Stir in the tomato paste, oregano, paprika, salt and pepper, and broth. Simmer for a few minutes until the liquid is reduced, then stir in the peas.

  • Spread the meat mixture into a 2-quart baking dish. Add mashed potatoes on top and spread it evenly all the way to the sides.

  • Bake until the potatoes are just starting to brown, about 25-30 minutes. Let cool a while before serving. Enjoy!
