Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
Peel and chop the potatoes into even-sized chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, dice the onion and carrots. Set them aside.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion and carrots to the skillet, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, all-purpose flour, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well to coat the beef and vegetables.
Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring. Add the frozen peas, salt, pepper, and paprika. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return to the pot. Add butter and milk, mashing until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the beef mixture to a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Spread the mashed potatoes over the meat mixture, using a spatula to create an even layer. If desired, sprinkle cheddar cheese on top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade Cottage Potato Pie!
