Ingredients:
4 large russet potatoes (2 1/2 pounds)
2 pounds (85% lean) ground sirloin
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large onions (1 pound total), chopped
1 large garlic clove, smashed, peeled and
finely chopped
1 (15 ounce) can tomato puree
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups frozen petit peas (half of a
1-pound bag), thawed
3/4 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup (packed) shredded reduced-fat
extra-sharp cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
Directions:
1. Peel the potatoes, cut in half
lengthwise, and then thinly slice; place in a large saucepan with cold water to
cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat, and simmer
until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
2. Right after you put the potatoes on to
cook, begin the filling: Cook the ground beef in a 12-inch skillet over
medium-high heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon and turning
frequently until the meat is nicely browned, about 7 minutes. Transfer the beef
to a plate. Preheat the oven to 500°F.
3. Add 2 tablespoons oil to the same
skillet. Add the onions and garlic and cook over medium heat, stirring often,
until golden and tender, about 6 minutes. Return the browned meat to the pan
and stir in the tomato puree and cayenne. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring
occasionally, until the mixture is thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the
peas and cover to keep warm.
4. Drain the cooked potatoes well and
return them to the pot. Mash well with a potato masher, and then stir in the
half-and-half, salt, and pepper to taste. Spoon the warm meat mixture into a 2
1/2-to 3-quart baking dish and sprinkle the Cheddar on top. Spoon the potatoes
on top of the cheese, spreading them over the meat, leaving a scant inch border
around the edge.
5. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of
olive oil over the top and then bake until the potatoes are golden, about 10
minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
