A comforting and hearty dish featuring a savory meat and vegetable filling topped with a creamy mashed potato crust.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal texture.
In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet for a leaner filling.
Stir in the green beans and tomato paste, mixing well. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce.
Boil the potatoes in a pot of salted water until tender. Drain and mash them in a mixing bowl.
For extra creaminess, add a splash of milk or butter while mashing.
Mix the mashed potatoes with the egg, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Ensure the mixture is well combined for a cohesive crust.
Spread the mashed potatoes into the bottom and up the sides of a greased baking dish.
Use a spatula to evenly distribute the potatoes.
Spoon the beef mixture into the potato crust, spreading it evenly.
Press the filling gently to ensure it stays in place.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Check halfway through to ensure the crust doesn't overbrown.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until melted.
For a golden finish, broil for the last minute.
Let the pie cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious creation!
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
