Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mashed Cauliflower Topping:
   • Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until very tender (about 10-12 minutes).
   • Drain well and mash or blend with butter, heavy cream, cheese (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
2. Make the Meat Filling:
   • In a large skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium heat and add the diced onion and garlic. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
   • Add the ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
   • If using, add the mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
   • Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, and beef broth. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, until it thickens.
   • Add salt, pepper, and frozen peas (if using). Stir everything together and remove from heat.
3. Assemble the Shepherd’s Pie:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • In a baking dish, spread the meat filling evenly.
   • Top with the mashed cauliflower, spreading it out to cover the meat completely.
   • Optionally, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top for a golden finish.
4. Bake:
   • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
   • Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
