Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash. Mix in butter, finely chopped onion and 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add carrots and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, mash and set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C.)
3. Heat oil in a large frying pan. Add onion and cook until clear. Add ground beef and cook until well browned. Pour off excess fat, then stir in flour and cook 1 minute. Add ketchup and beef broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Spread the ground beef in an even layer on the bottom of a 2 quart casserole dish. Next, spread a layer of mashed carrots. Top with the mashed potato mixture and sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

This is a recipe from Adam and it is the best Shepherd's Pie that I have ever eaten!

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I usually make my cream cheese flavored mashed potaotes to top with. Instead of boiling carrots I just do a package of frozen mixed vegetables (carrots and peas usually) according to package directions. Omit the ketchup and use about a 1/4 cup Worcestershire instead. Also omit the flour and use a package of brown gravy mix instead. Which usually means I have to step up how much beef broth I use and simmer longer but I usually have to eye ball it but I would say about a cup of beef broth instead of 3/4.
