Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is soft.

- Spread the mashed sweet potatoes over the beef mixture in the baking dish, and sprinkle with the shredded cheddar cheese.
