Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Add diced potatoes to the skillet along with the frozen mixed vegetables. Sprinkle with thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for 5 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir well to coat everything evenly.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Spoon the beef and potato filling into the crust.
  7. Cover with the second pie crust, crimping the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, make sure your filling has cooled slightly before assembling the pie to prevent the bottom crust from becoming soggy. This recipe is perfect for meal prep and can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake.
