👨‍🍳 How to Make Scalloped Beef Pie

Step 1: Prepare the Beef Filling

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions, garlic, and carrot. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Sprinkle in flour and stir for 1 minute. Pour in beef broth and simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened. Add peas if using. Remove from heat and transfer to a greased baking dish.

Step 2: Layer the Potatoes

In a bowl, mix cream, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Layer thinly sliced potatoes over the beef, overlapping slightly. Pour the cream mixture evenly over the top.

Step 3: Add Cheese & Bake

Sprinkle shredded cheese over the potatoes. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35 minutes. Uncover and bake another 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender and cheese is golden brown.

Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
