Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and dice the potatoes into uniform pieces.
- Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return them to the pot.
- Add the butter and milk to the cooked potatoes.
- Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and diced carrots. Cook until the onions are translucent and the carrots are tender, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the pasta sauce and finely chopped rosemary. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Divide the beef mixture evenly among individual oven-safe ramekins or a baking dish.
- Spoon the mashed potatoes on top of the beef mixture, spreading them out evenly. Use a fork to create peaks on the mashed potatoes for a decorative touch.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the mashed potatoes.
- Place the ramekins or baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Carefully remove the pot pies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, you can use a combination of ground beef and Italian sausage.
- To save time, make the mashed potatoes ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to use them.
- If you prefer a chunkier texture, leave some small pieces of potato when mashing.
- Add some chopped garlic to the beef mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
- If you like a bit of spice, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes while cooking the beef.
- Use a piping bag to neatly pipe the mashed potatoes on top of the beef mixture in the pot pies.
- For a golden brown crust, brush the mashed potatoes with a little bit of melted butter before baking.
Italian beef pot pies are a delightful mix of savory beef filling and creamy mashed potatoes, infused with earthy rosemary and tangy parmesan cheese. This dish is sure to become a family favorite, offering warmth and satisfaction in every bite. Enjoy this fusion of traditional Italian flavors with the comforting essence of a classic pot pie.
