Steps to make Classic Shepherd's Pie:

- Making the Meat Filling: - Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. - Saute the clove and onions for a few minutes. - Next, add carrots and mushrooms. - Saute till the carrots are soft. - Add the ground beef. - Stir fry till beef turns light brown. - Add the dark soy sauce for color. - Add the green peas and corn. - Add salt, pepper and seasoning to taste. - Add water and allow to simmer for about 10 mins. - Add more water if needed so that there is some gravy and the beef does not dry out.
- Making the Pie: - Transfer the meat filling to a baking dish and level it out so that the filling covers the entire base of the dish. Sprinkle some cheddar cheese over. - Next, add the mash on top of the meat filling and spread it out with the back of a spoon (do not press the mash down into the filling otherwise too much gravy will seep into the mash). - Use a fork to rough up the surface of the mash. - Baste the mash with a little butter and sprinkle the bread crumbs on top. - Bake in oven on max heat for about 15 mins or until the potato crust turns golden brown and slightly crispy.
