Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
• 3 tablespoons canned tomato paste
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the peeled, chopped potatoes until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the potatoes cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.

Step 7

Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, pepper, and frozen mixed vegetables. Mix well and let simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 8

Drain the cooked potatoes and mash them with butter, milk, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper until smooth.

Step 9

Spread the beef mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or casserole dish.

Step 10

Spoon the mashed potatoes on top of the beef mixture and spread them evenly, sealing the edges.

Step 11

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes, then dust with paprika.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.

Step 13

Let the hamburger pie rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
