- Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing until translucent. Stir in diced carrots and frozen peas; cook until softened.
- Mix in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour in beef broth and let simmer until thickened.
- Once potatoes are baked, slice them open and fluff the insides with a fork. Mix in butter and sour cream.
- Spoon the shepherd’s pie filling generously into each potato, topped with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Broil the stuffed potatoes for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
