Ingredients
Crust:
4 russet potatoes roughly chopped
6 oz of full fat coconut milk ½ can
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
salt & pepper to taste
1 tbsp fat olive, avo, coconut, butter, ghee, tallow, or lard
Pie:
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:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Remove from oven, let cool for 10 minutes or cut into the pie to ventilate it more quickly and get ready to serve!
