Author: Danika Lauren

Prep time: 30 MinCook time: 40 MinTotal time: 1 H & 10 M

Ingredients

Potato Crust

• 4-6 russet potatoes chopped
• 6 oz of full fat coconut milk ½ can
• 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
• salt & pepper to taste

Pie

• 1 tbsp fat olive, avo, butter, ghee, tallow, or lard
• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 cup carrots
• 1 ½ cup brussel sprouts
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 cup bone broth
• 2 ½ tbsp tomato paste
• ½ tsp dried thyme or 1 tsp fresh
• ½ tsp dried rosemary or 1 tsp fresh

Instructions

Prep your potatoes

1. Bring a big pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, sprinkle with salt and add potatoes to boiling water. Cook until very soft, then drain and return potatoes to pot.
2. Add fat and coconut milk to potatoes in pot. Mash until smooth or to your liking (the smoother they are, the easier they are to spread), then stir in nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper.

Make your pie

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Meat: Heat a skillet about 10-12" in diameter and 2-3" deep over medium-high heat. Cook the ground beef until browned, breaking up clumps to your preference. Remove beef and leave leftover fat in skillet.
3. Veggies: Reduce heat to medium. Add carrots and brussels, stir to coat with excess beef fat, and let cook for a couple minutes. Then add onions, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt & pepper. Cook until onions are soft. Then add tomato paste, allowing it to warm up and melt a bit before stirring it into veggies. Then stir in broth, return beef to skillet with veggies, and let simmer for about 3 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
4. Spread mashed potatoes over the skillet mixture and use a spoon or spatula to smooth over the entire top, sprinkling with parsley if you want a garnish.
5. Place the skillet on a baking sheet to catch bubbly overflow, and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until the sauce is bubbling around the edges and top begins to turn light brown.
6. Remove from oven, let cool for 10 minutes or cut into the pie to ventilate it more quickly and get ready to serve!
