Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 medium 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. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
  3. 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.
  4. Return the ground beef to the skillet. Stir in the frozen 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.
  5. Transfer the beef and potato mixture to a greased pie dish. Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the top of the pie. Trim any excess pastry and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  6. Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
  7. Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Make Ahead: Prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Customize the Vegetables: Swap out the mixed vegetables for your favorites, such as green beans or mushrooms. Extra Flavor: Add a sprinkle of grated cheese on top of the pie before baking for an extra layer of flavor.
