Mashed Potato Meat Pie
Recipe Overview
Overview
This Mashed Potato Meat Pie is a delightful twist on a classic comfort food. The recipe begins with boiling chunks of potatoes until they’re fork-tender, then mashing them with a touch of butter and seasoning them to perfection. The creamy mashed potatoes serve as a base for a hearty filling made with sautéed onions, garlic, and mushrooms, which add a wonderful depth of flavor to the dish.
The ground beef is seasoned with soy sauce, ketchup, and a hint of sugar, creating a savory mixture that pairs beautifully with the mashed potatoes. Layering the beef on top of the potatoes and finishing with slices of cheddar and shaved parmesan cheese before baking gives the dish a rich, cheesy crust that is simply irresistible.

This dish is perfect for family gatherings or a cozy night in, and it’s sure to become a favorite in your household. The combination of flavors and textures makes it a standout recipe that’s both easy to prepare and delicious to enjoy.
