Steps:
- Make the mashed potatoes: Peel the potatoes. Boil them until fork tender (you want them to mash easily). Drain, mash, and mix in yogurt and butter. Season to taste. (You can also use the Instant Pot method which is quick and easy! That's what I do.)
- In a large oven-safe pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until fragrant. Add mushrooms, carrots, and whole herbs (you will pull the herbs out later). Sauté until carrots are softened.
- Add tomato paste and flour to the pot and stir. Pour in the red wine (sizzzzle) and scrape all the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Let the wine cook out for a minute or two. Slowly add the broth, stirring it in until a gravy starts to form. Season with salt. Simmer over low heat to get it thickened even further.
- Remove the herbs. Stir in the peas, spread the mashed potatoes on top (brush with butter to be extra awesome), and bake for 15 minutes at 350. I finished mine on the broil setting for a few minutes to get it nice and brown on top.
- Scoop up a hearty serving and live your best cozy life.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a variety of vegetables in your Shepherd's Pie. This will give the dish a more complex and interesting flavor profile.
- If you don't have any leftover mashed potatoes, you can make your own by boiling potatoes until tender and then mashing them with butter, milk, and salt and pepper.
- To make the Shepherd's Pie ahead of time, assemble the dish and then freeze it. When you're ready to serve it, thaw the pie in the refrigerator overnight and then bake it according to the directions.
- Shepherd's Pie is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. If you have any cooked vegetables that you need to use up, simply add them to the filling.
- To make a vegan Shepherd's Pie, use vegetable broth instead of beef broth and omit the meat. You can also use a plant-based protein, such as lentils or tofu, in place of the ground beef.
