Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat and set the beef aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the diced potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Return the ground beef to the skillet. Stir in the mixed vegetables, beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the mixture has thickened.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the beef and potato mixture to a pie dish. Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the filling, trimming any excess dough. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky. Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Make Ahead: You can prepare the filling a day in advance and assemble the pie just before baking. Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to swap out the mixed vegetables for your favorites, such as mushrooms or bell peppers. Extra Flavor: Add a sprinkle of cheese on top of the filling before adding the pastry for an extra layer of flavor.
