You only have to read that "cook in a flash" recipe to know it writer
has never made it . 5 minutes in the skillet then 5 minutes in the oven
is NOT long enough to cook a pound of raw beef mince or raw onion and
carrot; or even heat through the (24-ounce) package prepared mashed
potatoes.

"Place beef in a large skillet over high heat; cook 5 minutes or until
browned, stirring to crumble. Add carrot, onion, and garlic to pan; cook
2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste; cook 30 seconds. Combine 1/4 cup stock
and cornstarch in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add cornstarch
mixture, remaining 3/4 cup stock, Worcestershire, pepper, and salt to
pan. Stir in peas. Cook 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.

3. Place beef mixture in a 2-quart glass or ceramic baking dish. Top
evenly with mashed potatoes. Sprinkle freeze-dried onions and paprika
over potatoes. Bake at 500° for 5 minutes."

LOL, (yet) another American who can't make shepherd's pie :-)
