Ingredients

2 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 lg Onion, finely chopped
1 pound Ground Beef
1 cup Beef Gravy (or stock cube and water)
2 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
2 tablespoon Parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon Fresh Herbs (or 1/2 tsp dried)
to taste Salt and Ground Black Pepper
1.5 lb Freshly Cooked Mashed Potatoes
6 tablespoon Cream
1 Egg, lightly beaten
2 oz Butter, melted
1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

Directions

1
Preheat your oven to 400F (200C).
2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook gently until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
3
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
4
Stir in the beef gravy, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for a few minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
5
Spoon the beef mixture into a well-buttered deep casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
6
In a bowl, blend the mashed potatoes with the cream, beaten egg, and half of the melted butter until smooth and creamy.
7
Spread the potato mixture evenly over the beef filling in the casserole dish.
8
Brush the top of the potatoes with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is piping hot and the potato topping is golden brown.
