- Add the milk, ½ cup of butter, salt, and pepper and mash thoroughly. Set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add 2 Tbsp. butter and add the onions. Once they start to soften, add the garlic. Once fragrant, about 30 seconds, add the ground beef, breaking it up as you go. If you are using any extra veggies, add them in with the beef.
- When the beef is just about finished cooking, slowly add in the flour to the beef, mixing as you go.
- Next, slowly add in the broth, continuing to mix as it all thickens.
- When the meat is finished, spread it on the bottom of a 2.5 qt. baking dish.
- Spread the corn evenly on top of the meat.
- Spread the mashed potatoes evenly on top.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top.
- Place the shepherd's pie into the oven for about 10 minutes to melt the cheese and make sure it's heated through.
- Finally, turn the oven to broil and move up the rack. Broil the dish for a couple of minutes or until the cheese is starting to get a bit brown. Serve and enjoy!
