This hearty ground lamb pie is made with onions, carrots, peas, and a mashed potato topping. Use the Anova Precision Oven to make one-pot mashed potatoes as you brown the lamb and bring the remaining ingredients together in a cast iron skillet. Top with the mashed potatoes and pop the skillet into the oven to create a perfect golden brown topping. Notes: To make this a cottage pie, swap in ground beef for the ground lamb. For a more umami-packed dish, use beef stock instead of chicken stock.

4. Brown Lamb

While the potatoes cook, make the filling. Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. When it starts to shimmer, add the lamb and cook until no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain off the liquid and fat from the skillet.

5. Add Carrots and Onion

Return to medium heat and add the carrots and onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes.

6. Add Garlic and Tomato Paste

Stir in the garlic and tomato paste. Continue to cook, stirring, until aromatic, about 1 minute.

7. Add Liquid

Add the beer, stock, and Worcestershire. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and reduce for 10 minutes.

Stir in the herbs and remove from the heat.
