Ingredients
  

2 cups pulled pork (cooked and cooled)

1 large onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup carrots, diced

1 cup frozen peas

1 cup chicken broth

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 cups mashed potatoes (butter and cream added)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil. Sauté onions and garlic until fragrant and onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

      Add Carrots and Pulled Pork: Stir in diced carrots and cook for another 5 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the pulled pork to the skillet and stir well to combine.

        Add Liquid Ingredients: Pour in chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Sprinkle in smoked paprika and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cooking for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

          Mix in Peas: Stir in the frozen peas and mix well. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly.

            Add Mashed Potatoes: Top the pork-vegetable mixture with the mashed potatoes, smoothing it out with a spatula or fork. Fluff the top for additional texture.

              Cheese It Up: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mashed potatoes.

                Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the top is golden brown.

                  Garnish and Serve: Once it’s done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

                      - Presentation Tips: Serve the shepherd’s pie directly from the baking dish for a rustic look or scoop individual portions onto plates. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of chives can enhance the presentation as well.
