A wonderful shepherd's pie with my own twist. It's made with ground beef simmered in tomato sauce, topped with a mashed potato and butternut squash blend. The butternut squash adds a subtle sweetness that's truly delicious. This is a comforting dish, perfect for kicking off the fall season.

Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Peel and cut the potatoes and butternut squash into pieces. When the water is boiling, add the potatoes and butternut squash, cook for 15 minutes, then drain.
2

Peel the onion and carrots, then finely chop them. In a large skillet, heat a little oil and sauté the onion and ground beef for a few minutes. Add the carrots, bouillon cube, and crushed tomatoes. Let simmer until the sauce has reduced, then season to taste.
3

Mash the drained potatoes and butternut squash with the milk and a generous pat of butter. The mash should be creamy; season with salt and pepper to taste.
4

In a deep baking dish, spread the simmered beef mixture and cover with the mashed potato and butternut squash.
5

Use a fork to make decorative lines on top, dot with a few small pieces of butter, and bake for 30 minutes until the top is golden brown.
