Serves 4.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 cup, diced carrots
• 1 cup, diced parsnips
• 2 medium, peeled and mashed potatoes
• 2 tbsp, chopped fresh thyme
• 1 tbsp, chopped fresh rosemary
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add carrots and parsnips, cooking for 5 minutes until slightly softened, then add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking into crumbles with a spoon.
2. Step 2: Stir in 1/2 cup water, salt, and pepper, then simmer for 10 minutes until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and stir in thyme and rosemary.
3. Step 3: Mix mashed potatoes with flour and remaining butter until smooth, then season with salt and pepper.
4. Step 4: Preheat oven to 375°F. Divide potato mixture into 8 portions and flatten into circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top each with 2 tbsp beef filling, then fold edges over to form a half-moon shape.
5. Step 5: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crisp, then let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
