Instructions:
1.Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, season with salt, add one clove of garlic and bring to a boil.

5. Stir in the chopped rosemary and thyme. Cook for another 2 minutes.
6. Pour in the beef broth, then add corn, peas, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 5-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
8. Transfer the meat filling to an oven-proof dish, spreading it out evenly.
9. Spoon the mashed potatoes over the meat filling, spreading them out with a spatula to cover completely.
10. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
11. Let the shepherd’s pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
