    • 🍖 1 pound ground lamb

    • 🥕 1 small carrot, peeled and chopped
    • ½ cup peas
    • 🍅 1 (16 ounce) can stewed tomatoes with juice, chopped
  • Liquids and Flavor Enhancers

    • 1 cup Irish stout beer (such as Guinness®)
    • 1 cube beef bouillon
    • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Cheese and Toppings

    • 🧀 ¾ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
    • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
    • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • Oil

    • 1 ½ teaspoons olive oil

STEPS

1

Stir potatoes, sour cream, cream cheese, 1 tablespoon butter, egg yolk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl until smooth.

2

Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet or nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add ground lamb, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and crumbly, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour off excess grease and season lamb with salt and black pepper to taste.

3

Stir tomatoes with juice, onion, and carrot into ground lamb; simmer until vegetables are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Add peas, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently, until peas are warmed, 2 to 3 minutes.

4

Heat beer in a saucepan over medium heat; add beef bouillon. Cook and stir beer mixture until bouillon is dissolved, about 5 minutes.

5

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a separate pan over medium-low heat until sizzling. Whisk flour into butter until thick and paste-like, about 1 minute. Stir beer mixture and Worcestershire sauce into flour mixture until gravy is smooth and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir gravy into lamb mixture and simmer until mixture is thickened, at least 5 minutes.

6

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Grease a 9x12-inch baking dish.

7

Pour lamb mixture into the prepared baking dish. Carefully spoon mashed potatoes over lamb mixture, covering like a crust. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese, parsley, and paprika over mashed potatoes.

8

Broil in the preheated oven until crust is browned and cheese is melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
