Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 1 medium, diced Onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 800 grams, peeled and cubed Potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 120 milliliters Milk
• 150 grams, shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 250 milliliters Beef stock
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 beaten for egg wash Egg
• 1 prepared Pie crust pastry sheet

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 7-10 minutes.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the cooked beef and stir well to coat. Gradually pour in the beef stock and add the Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and black pepper, then set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

Mash the drained potatoes with the butter and milk until smooth. Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese and season lightly with salt, if needed. Set aside.

Step 7

Roll out the pie crust pastry and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess pastry around the edges.

Step 8

Fill the pie shell with the cooked beef mixture, spreading it evenly. Top the beef with the mashed potatoes, smoothing them over the surface.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top of the mashed potatoes.

Step 10

Brush the edges of the pie crust with the beaten egg. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Enjoy your Anita's Cheese and Potato Beef Pie!
