Enjoy a comforting twist on a classic shepherd's pie that perfectly balances lean ground beef and vibrant mixed vegetables under a silky, creamy sweet potato topping. This dish brings warmth and depth with each bite, making it an ideal choice for a hearty breakfast, lunch, or dinner while fitting beautifully within a lean, protein-forward meal plan.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef (90/10)
1 small Carrot
1/4 cup Frozen Peas
1/4 small Onion
1 clove Garlic
1/2 medium Sweet Potato
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Dice the small carrot, onion, and mince the garlic.
Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant (about 2 minutes), then add the diced carrot and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet and break it up with a spatula. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, peel (if desired), cube, and boil or microwave the sweet potato until tender. Once cooked, mash the sweet potato until creamy, adding a pinch of salt for flavor.
Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture into a small oven-safe serving dish, then top evenly with the mashed sweet potato.
For a traditional shepherd's pie finish, you can place the dish under a broiler for 2-3 minutes to lightly brown the sweet potato topping, though this step is optional.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-rich meals!
