4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 lb shredded carrot
1/2 lb small mushroom, cleaned and sliced
1 lb ground sirloin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon crushed dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
8 fluid ounces low sodium beef broth
1/3 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons no-added-salt tomato paste
vegetable oil cooking spray
1 lb russet potato, peeled and cut into chunks

1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 -2 tablespoon minced pickled jalapeno pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1 1/2 tablespoons minced scallions
1/4 teaspoon paprika
3 tablespoons shredded monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • In a large nonstick skillet, sauté the onion, garlic, carrot, and mushrooms over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are wilted and pan liquids are absorbed, about 6 minutes.
  • Crumble in the ground sirloin and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is well browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Drain off any excess fat.
  • Add the oregano, thyme, cumin, and pepper.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir.
  • Add the beef broth, wine, and tomato paste.
  • Stir until well combined.
  • Line a 2-quart casserole with a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil large enough to completely enclose the casserole.
  • Lightly spray the foil inside the casserole with cooking spray.
  • Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared casserole.
  • Set aside while you prepare the topping.
  • Place the potatoes in a pot of boiling water to cover.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer until tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 to 20 minutes; drain.
  • Mash the potatoes, adding sufficient skim milk until the potatoes are fluffy.
  • Stir in the salt (if using), minced jalapeño chiles, cilantro, and scallion.
  • Spoon the potato mixture onto the top of the meat mixture, making swirls with the back of a spoon.
  • Sprinkle with paprika and cheese.
  • Cover the casserole and freeze until solid.
  • Lift the food out of the casserole (the foil will adhere), wrap securely in the foil, then slip the package into a self-sealing plastic freezer bag or overwrap in additional foil or freezer paper.
  • Label with the casserole name and the date.
  • Use within 3 months.
  • When ready to bake, unwrap the casserole and place back in the casserole dish to bake.
  • Defrost completely.
  • Then bake at 375°F for 40 to 45 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
  • (Since the casserole will be full, it may bubble over, so place a sheet of aluminum foil under the casserole to catch any drips.) Serve hot.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a 9-inch pie plate, you can use an 8-inch pie plate and adjust the cooking time accordingly. Just keep an eye on the crust so it doesn't overcook.
  • If you're using a pre-made pie crust, be sure to prick the bottom of the crust with a fork before baking. This will help prevent the crust from bubbling up.
  • To make the filling ahead of time, simply cook the ground beef and vegetables according to the recipe instructions and let it cool completely. Then, store the filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • You can also make the pie dough ahead of time. Just wrap the dough in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
  • When you're ready to assemble the pie, simply preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, roll out the pie dough and fit it into the pie plate. Pour the filling into the pie crust and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Conclusion:

This Make-Ahead Southwest Cattle Ranchers Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for busy families. With its flavorful filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover ground beef and vegetables.
