Ingredients
Meat and Veg Filling
- 2 lbs ground beef (80/20)
- 2 tbsp bacon fat
- 1 onion chopped, medium
- 2 cloves garlic crushed and chopped
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp thyme fresh
- 1 cup red wine
- 1/2 cup beef stock
- 6 oz tomato paste
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 cup green beans (or peas)
Potato Topping
- 4 russet potato roughly 6 cups chopped
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp yogurt plain, Greek
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1 tsp paprika
- thyme chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Peel, chop and boil the potatoes in heavily salted water. When fork tender, about 12-15 minutes, drain. Mash with a little butter, plain Greek yogurt and milk until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
- Sauté the onions and garlic in the bacon fat in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and season with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. Sprinkle the beef mixture with the flour and cook for a minute or two.
- Add the tomato paste and cook stirring to mix in for a few minutes. Add the thyme and pour in the beef stock and red wine. Use a spoon to scrape up all the browned bits to get every bit of flavor packed into this sauce.
- Spread this meat mixture on the bottom of a 13x9" baking dish and add the fresh cut corn and steamed, cut green beans evenly over meat mixture. Feel free to use canned here, but I had both on hand and feel fresh is always better.
- Carefully spread the mashed potatoes on top of vegetables and sprinkle with paprika and grated Parmesan cheese. I use a fork to scrape cross hatch marks across the mashed potato topping to create ridges that brown well in the oven. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
