2 lbs. (1 kg) russet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup (250 mL) warm milk
2 tbsp (30 mL) butter
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp (15 mL) oil
1 onion, peeled and diced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 lbs. (1 kg) ground beef
1 cup (250 mL) frozen peas
2 tbsp (30 mL) tomato paste

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, add potatoes, warm milk and butter to the Deluxe Stand Mixer. Select BEAT and adjust the time to 1 minute. Press START. (or mash using a hand mixer). Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes. Add the onion and carrot, and cook until the onion is translucent, about 6–7 minutes.
Add the beef and cook until it’s no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Add the peas, tomato paste, and flour; stir to combine.
Deglaze the skillet with the red wine and broth. Add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and thyme; stir. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove it from the heat.
Add the ground meat mixture to the Stone Rectangular Baker and cover with the mashed potatoes. Sprinkle with the cheddar cheese. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
