Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 cup beef broth
• 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup milk or heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel and cube the russet potatoes. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.

Step 5

Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and frozen mixed vegetables. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the skillet mixture and stir until the flour is absorbed. Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring continuously, until a thickened gravy forms. Season with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Remove from heat and set the skillet aside.

Step 7

Mash the boiled potatoes with butter and milk (or heavy cream) until smooth and creamy. Season with the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt and additional pepper to taste.

Step 8

Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture into a greased 9-inch pie dish or baking dish. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top, creating a smooth layer. Optionally, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 9

Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, or until the mashed potatoes are lightly golden and the filling is bubbling.

Step 10

Let the hamburger pie cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your warm, comforting slice of Mama Mac's Hamburger Pie!
