Beef & Potato Pie
Sounds, this is a major change from what I read, the original recipe called for sliced canned potatoes. I understand the convenience in the states for that, but wow, I never heard of canned potatoes before. So for this recipe, you will be doing some cooking, but probably more healthy than canned potatoes. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 500 grams potatoes, sliced and boiled to tender
- 1 cup 4 cheese blend, shredded
- garlic powder, to taste
- seasoning salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- olive oil, as needed
Instructions
- Slice the potatoes, skin on or off is your choice, slice about 1/4 inch thick. Boil until just tender, drain.
- Preheat your oven to a high broiler temp or if using a counter top oven, heat the top coil to about 190 C, grease a 8 or 9 inch pie dish with butter, Pyrex would be perfect.
- Add the beef to a non stick skillet with a splash of olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Brown the beef and cook through. Remove from heat, drain fat and set aside.
- Place a layer of 1/3 of the sliced cooked potatoes on the on the bottom of the pie dish, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle about 1/3 of the cheese, place in the oven until the cheese is melted.
- Add the ground beef to the pie dish and spread into a layer, sprinkle with another 1/3 cup of cheese, cover with remaining potato slices, season again with salt and pepper as desired, back into the oven and broil for 6-7 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Sprinkle with the remaining cheese, back into the oven and broil for another 1-2 minutes to melt and start browning the cheese. Remove and let rest 5 minutes, serve with a vegetable on the side for a good meal.
Notes
Figure about 100 Baht/500 grams of beef and 80 Baht for the cheese. For 6 servings, this is about 89 cents per serving.
Shortcut: Seasoning Salt.
Variants: 1. Use ground pork in place of beef. 2. Add some chopped onion and or garlic to the ground meat when browning. 3. Think mashed potatoes instead of sliced and boiled. 4. Use any cheese you want.
