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
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 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 excess fat and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until softened. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the flour, then gradually add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well and bring to a simmer. Add the frozen peas and carrots, and cook until the mixture thickens.
  5. Transfer the beef and potato mixture to a pie dish. Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the filling. Trim any excess pastry and crimp the edges. Brush the top with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  7. Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Ground Beef Potato Pie!

Notes

Make Ahead: You can prepare the filling a day ahead and assemble the pie just before baking. Customize: Add your favorite herbs or spices to the filling for extra flavor. Crust Variation: Use a homemade pie crust or store-bought for convenience.
