Beefy Cheesy Shepherds Pie

Peel the potatoes and boil or steam them until fork tender

Add a little vegetable oil to a pan and fry 1 large diced onion until translucent 

Dice 2 carrots and fry them with the onion for another 2 minutes then add the beef and break it down into small pieces and brown it 

Add 1 tbsp of tomato paste 200 ml of a good quality beef broth  1 tsp worcestershire sauce the peas and a little salt and pepper then simmer 2 minutes  take off the heat and transfer to a casserole dish 

Add butter salt and pepper to the potatoes and mash them or use an electric whisk ( this is way quicker) then add cream and whisk until fluffy 

Top the meat with the potatoes and add grated cheddar cheese on top . Bake at 190 c for 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown
