Ingredients

• 1 Pound (lb) leftover roast beef, cubed
• 2 Large onions, sliced
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) sugar
• 0.5 Cup homemade beef gravy
• 4 Cups mashed cooked potatoes
• 0.5 Cup heavy cream, warmed
• 0.5 Cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and sugar, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
3. In a 2-quart casserole dish, spread the cubed roast beef evenly across the bottom. Layer the caramelized onions over the beef, followed by the beef gravy.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the warmed heavy cream, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
5. Spread the mashed potato mixture evenly over the beef and onion layers in the casserole dish.
6. Sprinkle the minced thyme leaves over the top for added flavor.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
8. Allow the Shepherd's Pie to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your comforting and flavorful meal!
