Directions
1 - Prepare mashed potatoes, stirring in cream, butter, or coconut cream, if desired. Set aside while preparing filling.
2 - Add ground lamb or beef to heated skillet and cook until browned. Add in chopped onion, garlic, and carrots to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until veggies soften.
3 - Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dijon (optional), thyme, rosemary, salt & pepper to desire taste.
4 - Sprinkle in flour, stirring to combine as it begins thickening.
5 - Pour in beef or lamb broth and stir. Simmer for a few minutes. Add in peas, and cook another few minutes.

Let cool and serve!
*Before putting in oven, sprinkle with paprika and/or add little dollops of butter.
*Add in other veggies or more of the same. Sometimes we double or 1½x the recipe for more filling.
*Leftovers of this meal are wonderful to have for the next day!
