Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 pre-made pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 egg, beaten (for brushing the crust)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in onion, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme, cooking until onions soften. - Add Potatoes:
Add diced potatoes to the skillet. Pour in beef broth and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool. - Assemble the Pie:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Fill with the beef and potato mixture. Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges and cutting small slits on top to release steam. - Bake:
Brush the crust with the beaten egg. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Add vegetables like peas or carrots for extra flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
