Steps:
- Add the oil to a large skillet and place it over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the onions. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the ground beef (or ground lamb) to the skillet and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Add the parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt, and and pepper. Stir well. Cook for 6-8 minutes, until the meat is browned, stirring occasionally.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce and garlic. Stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add the flour and tomato paste. Stir until well incorporated and no clumps of tomato paste remain.

- Pour the meat mixture into a 9x9 (or 7x11) inch baking dish. Spread it out into an even layer. Spoon the mashed potatoes on top of the meat. Carefully spread into an even layer.
- If the baking dish looks very full, place it on a rimmed baking sheet so that the filling doesn't bubble over into your oven. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes.** Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- See separate recipe for Marta Sgubin's Mashed Potatoes --
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Combine the lamb, garlic, onion and rosemary and put them through a meat grinder twice. If you don't have a meat grinder, don't use a food processor because that doesn't give the right texture. Use a knife to chop [or shred] the ingredients very fine, the way you would if you were making hash.
- Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large skillet and stir in the flour.
- Stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, cook for 5 minutes or until completely blended. Slowly add the beef stock, stirring as you add, and cook until thickened - about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped lamb mixture and stir to blend. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon this meat mixture into a 2-quart oval ovenproof casserole dish. Spread the mashed potatoes over the top. They should be as even as possible and touch the rim of the dish so that non of the meat mixture shows.
- Use a fork to rake a design along the top, drawing the tines over the sirface from one end to the other the long way. Dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Bake for 40 minutes or until the filling is bubbling hot and the potatoes are lightly browned.
