Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 1/2 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 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. Stir in the frozen peas and carrots, beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it 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 sheet and place it over the filling, trimming any excess dough. Brush the top with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky. Let it 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 add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor. Crust Variation: If you prefer a homemade crust, try a flaky crust recipe for a buttery, golden finish.
