Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in the diced potatoes, frozen vegetables, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10-12 minutes until potatoes are tender but still firm.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Spoon the beef and potato mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.
  4. Place the second pie crust over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal, and cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Cut potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking. Prepare filling up to 2 days in advance for quicker assembly. Freeze unbaked pie for up to 3 months - add 10-15 minutes to baking time.
