Ingredients
  

  • FOR THE FILLING
  • 1.5 pounds ground beef or lamb
  • 2 medium carrots diced
  • 2 ribs celery diced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried roasemary
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper plus more to taste
  • salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1-2 cups beef stock
  • FOR THE TOPPING
  • 2 starchy potatoes grated
  • ½ cup shredded white cheese such as mozzarella or cheddar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Make the gravy. Add the beef to a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook for 7-10 minutes until browned and crumbly. Add the carrot, celery, and onion and cook for 5 more minutes. Add the bell pepper, garlic, Worcestershire, paprika, rosemary, crushed red pepper, and a sprinkle of salt. Stir to combine and cook for 3 more minutes.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to combine, then pour in 1 cup of beef stock. Stir, and add more stock if needed to thin out the gravy. Taste, and add more salt if you'd like to the beef mixture.
  • To make the topping, combine the grated potatoes, egg, cheese, and flour in a bowl with lots of salt and pepper.
  • Pour the filling into a baking dish - 8x10 or similar. Spread the potato mixture in an even layer over top of the pie.
  • To serve right away, bake at 400F until potatoes are golden and cooked through. Uncooked pie may be frozen for several months or kept in the fridge for a few days before baking.
  • Enjoy!
