Meat Potato Pie (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 medium potatoes, cubed and peeled
02 - 1 pound of ground beef
03 - 1 onion, finely chopped
04 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
05 - 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
06 - 1 cup of beef broth
07 - 1 cup of frozen peas
08 - 2 tablespoons of flour
09 - 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
10 - 2 sheets of puff pastry
11 - 1 egg, whisked for brushing
12 - Salt and black pepper, adjust to preference

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to heat up to 375°F (190°C).
02 - In a big pan over medium heat, cook the beef till it’s no longer pink. Toss in onion and garlic, cooking until they soften.
03 - Mix the potatoes into the pan and give them about 5 minutes to cook through.
04 - Sprinkle in the thyme, add tomato paste, and season with pepper and salt. Stir in the flour until everything mixes well.
05 - Slowly mix in the beef broth a bit at a time, stirring, until the filling thickens (should take a few minutes).
06 - Add the frozen peas, stirring until blended. Set the mix aside so it can cool off a bit.
07 - Roll out one puff pastry sheet, then lay it into your pie dish.
08 - Spoon the beef and potato mixture into your prepared crust.
09 - Place the second puff pastry sheet on top, trimming extra edges.
10 - Brush the top with your beaten egg and cut a few tiny lines in the top for venting steam.
11 - Pop it in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the crust turns golden and the filling bubbles.

# Notes:

01 - This comforting Irish dish combines tender beef, soft potatoes, and delicious spices, all wrapped in a flaky pastry crust.
02 - Experiment by tossing in other veggies or herbs if you’d like to put your own twist on it.
