Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium russet potato peeled and cubed for mashing
  • 1 pound 80/20 ground beef adds richness and flavor
  • ½ pound ground pork adds juiciness to the filling
  • ½ cup minced yellow onion provides sweetness and depth
  • 4 cloves garlic chopped enhances flavor
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce for savory umami
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt for seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste for a rich base
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or ½ teaspoon dried thyme (adds earthy herbal flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder adds a hint of spice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder for extra garlicky goodness
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice adds warmth and complexity
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg for a hint of sweetness
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper for a mild heat
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch helps thicken the filling
  • ¾ cup beef stock adds moisture and flavor to the filling
  • 1 Easy All-Butter Pie Crust Recipe or 1 (15 ounce package prepared double pie crust) (for the base and top crust)
  • 1 large egg beaten for the egg wash

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the center position.
  2. Place the potato in a saucepan with enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and mash.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, pork, onion, and garlic and cook, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon, until browned and the onion is softened, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the mashed potatoes, Worcestershire sauce, salt, tomato paste, thyme, mustard powder, garlic powder, allspice, nutmeg, pepper, cornstarch, and beef stock. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough into two 14-inch rounds. Gently press one dough round into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges if needed.
  6. Spoon the meat and potato filling into the pie crust, mounding it slightly in the center. Top with the remaining dough round, crimping the edges together to seal.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the egg with 1 teaspoon of water. Brush the egg wash over the top of the pie. Using a sharp knife, cut four 2-inch slits into the top of the crust.
  8. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 35 minutes. If the crust starts browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
