Shepherd Pie

Ingredients

6 6 servings (approx. 1.5 cups per portion)

Stir potatoes, sour cream, cream cheese, 1 tablespoon butter, egg yolk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl until smooth.
Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet or nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
Add ground lamb, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and crumbly, 4 to 5 minutes.
Pour off excess grease and season lamb with salt and black pepper to taste.
Stir tomatoes with juice, onion, and carrot into ground lamb; simmer until vegetables are tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
Heat beer in a saucepan over medium heat; add beef bouillon.
Cook and stir beer mixture until bouillon is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a separate pan over medium-low heat until sizzling.
Whisk flour into butter until thick and paste-like, about 1 minute.
Stir beer mixture and Worcestershire sauce into flour mixture until gravy is smooth and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir gravy into lamb mixture and simmer until mixture is thickened, at least 5 minutes.
Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Grease a 9x12-inch baking dish.
Pour lamb mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Carefully spoon mashed potatoes over lamb mixture, covering like a crust.
Sprinkle Cheddar cheese, parsley, and paprika over mashed potatoes.
Broil in the preheated oven until crust is browned and cheese is melted, 4 to 5 minutes.
Cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
