Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). In a large pan over medium-high heat, cook the ground lamb until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
2
Add the chopped onion, carrots, and peas to the pan and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and butter until well combined. Add the flour mixture to the pan and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is lightly browned.
4
Gradually add the milk to the pan, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5
While the filling is cooking, prepare the mashed potatoes. Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and mash with butter and milk until smooth and creamy.
6
Transfer the filling to a 9x13 inch baking dish and top with the mashed potatoes. Smooth the potatoes to cover the filling and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown.
