Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over low heat.

Brown 1 lb of ground lamb and 1 lb of sirloin beef in the skillet.

Add 2 cups of diced carrots and 2 cups of diced sweet onion to the skillet and cook down.

Season the mixture with 2 tablespoons of onion powder, 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, and 1 tablespoon of steak seasoning.

Cook until the vegetables are tender, then add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce.

Stir in 1 can of sweet corn and a 12 oz bag of frozen green peas; mix well and cook for about 5 more minutes.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of flour over the mixture and mix it in thoroughly.

Add 2 cups of beef stock to the mixture and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

Peel and quarter 2 lbs of Yukon Gold potatoes, then place them in a pot.

Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the pot and cover the potatoes with water; boil until fork tender.

Once tender, drain the potatoes and add 1.5 cups of melted butter, 8 oz of sour cream, fresh cracked pepper, and salt to taste.

Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

Transfer the meat mixture to a casserole dish and spread it evenly.

Top the meat mixture with the mashed potatoes, spreading them out evenly.

Bake in the oven at 400°F for 20 minutes.

After 15 minutes, sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the mashed potatoes and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese melts.

Let the Shepherd's Pie rest for about 20 minutes before serving.
