4 large Russet potatoes peeled and cubed

1/4 cup cream cheese

1 to 1 1/2 pounds ground lamb or ground beef

2 tablespoons butter

1 medium white onion diced

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

Salt and Pepper to taste

1 cup frozen peas and carrots

1/2 cup frozen corn kernels

2 cups cheddar cheese to top

Add potatoes to a large pot of boiling water. Boil the potatoes until soft, 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook ground lamb (or ground beef) in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Add in onion and saute until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Add in 2 tablespoons butter and let fully melt before adding in the flour, stir until well mixed and let cook for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer. Add in frozen peas, carrots, corn, and thyme. Stir occasionally until the sauce thickens.

At this point the potatoes should be done. Drain and mash using either a potato masher or hand mixer. Mix in the butter, cream cheese, and salt until everything is melted.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan. Spread meat and vegetable mixture into the bottom of the pan. Top with a layer of mashed potatoes. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top.

Bake in a 350 degree oven, uncovered, for about 15-20 minutes., until cheese is warm and bubbly.
