Beef and Vegetable Pot Pie with Mashed Potato Crust

Prep the Mashed Potatoes:

Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well.

Mash with butter and milk until smooth. Season with salt and set aside.

Make the Filling:

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and onion over medium heat.

Add carrots, peas, and corn, cooking until vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Sprinkle with flour, then slowly pour in beef broth, stirring continuously. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.

Assemble the Pie:

Transfer the filling to a pie dish. Spread the mashed potatoes over the top, creating a decorative pattern with a fork.

Bake:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Bake for about 20 minutes or until the mashed potatoes are golden and the filling is bubbly.
