INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Lean Ground Beef (93% Lean)
1 small Sweet Potato
1/4 cup diced Carrots
1/4 cup Frozen Peas
1/4 cup diced Onion
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Thyme
1 Bay Leaf
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula.
Add the diced onion, garlic, and carrots to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the frozen peas, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the flavors meld. Remove the bay leaf.
Meanwhile, peel and cube the sweet potato. Boil in water until tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Drain the sweet potato and mash until smooth, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly in a small baking dish. Top with a layer of creamy sweet potato mash.
(Optional) Place the dish under a broiler for 2-3 minutes to lightly brown the top, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting twist on a classic shepherd's pie.
