Instructions
Mashed Potatoes
  1. Add the diced potatoes to a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Let the potatoes boil for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until easily pierced with a fork.
  2. Drain the potatoes and add to your stand mixer or into a large mixing bowl. Add in the butter and begin to mix on medium speed.
  3. Slowly add half and half, salt, and pepper, and increase the speed of the mixer to medium high.
  4. Mix for one minute and then add in the egg yolk. Mix for another minute or until the potatoes are smooth. Set aside.
Pie Filling
  1. While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the filling. If baking right away, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Place the olive oil into a large sauté pan and set over medium high heat. Add the onion and carrots and sauté until they begin to take on color, approximately 5 to 6 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic and stir to combine. Add the ground beef, salt and pepper and cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 8 minutes.
  4. Add the flour and tomato paste, stir to combine. Then add the chicken broth, Worcestershire, rosemary, thyme, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer slowly 10 to 12 minutes or until the sauce is thickened slightly. Remove from heat. Add the corn and peas to the beef mixture, stir to combine.
  5. Prep a large 9×13 pan with oil and then spread the beef mixture in the pan. Top with the mashed potatoes, starting around the edges to create a seal to prevent the mixture from bubbling up and smooth with a rubber spatula.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes if baking from hot. If baking after it sits in the fridge, bake for 35 minutes. Once baked, let cool for 10 minutes prior to serving.
