Beef And Green Bean Pie With Squash And Potato Topping
To save time the ground beef/bean filling can be prepared in advance and refrigerated. I like to add in a couple of tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese into the ground beef filling, but that is only optional. This is an amazing ground beef recipe, and one you will really enjoy!!
Steps
To make the topping: cook squash and potatoes in boiling water until tender drain and return to the pot.
Add in milk , salt , pepper , nutmeg and tabasco sauce.
Mash with a potato masher until fluffy.
Set aside to cool slightly.
To make the filling: in a large skillet saute the onion and celery until soft.
Add in garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes.
Remove to a plate.
Add the ground beef to the skillet.
Cook until browned.
Stir in basil , oregano , cumin , salt , pepper , worcestershire sauce , the reserved onion mixture and the 2 tablespoons flour.
Add in the drained tomatoes and green beans.
Mix to combine and bring to a boil.
Lower temperature.
Cover and cook for about 20 minutes.
Spoon / spread the ground beef mixture into a 13 x 9-inch greased baking dish.
Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
Beat the egg into the squash mixture.
Spread over the beef filling.
Make decorative swirls with a fork if desired.
Sprinkle with more parmesan if desired and paprika.
Bake.
