Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 lb Ground Beef or turkey/lamb
  • 1 small Onion, Chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • 1 cup Frozen Peas and Carrots
  • 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
For the Mashed Topping
  • 2 large Potatoes, Peeled and Chopped
  • 1/2 cup Milk or plant-based alternative
  • 2 tbsp Butter or vegan butter
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese optional
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, Chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • muffin tin
  • large skillet
  • Pot

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Boil the peeled and chopped potatoes in salted water for about 10-12 minutes until tender. Drain and mash with milk, butter, salt, and pepper until creamy.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground meat. Drain excess fat. Add onions and garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in peas, carrots, tomato paste, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  3. Lightly grease a muffin tin and fill each cup with the meat mixture until about 2/3 full. Top each with the creamy mashed potatoes, smoothing out with a spoon.
  4. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. For extra crunch, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Carefully remove the pies from the tin and serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.
