Ingredients
-
cooking spray
-
1 (12 ounce) can refrigerated biscuits (The flakey are good or Grands)
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 lb ground beef (chuck or ground turkey or chicken or veggie crumbles)
-
1/2 onion, minced
-
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
-
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
-
1/2-1 tablespoon minced garlic
-
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup beef stock (or chicken or turkey or vegetable)
-
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaf
-
1 1/2 cups leftover mashed potatoes (or use instant or storebought in a pinch)
-
1 tablespoon granulated garlic powder
-
2 tablespoons granulated onion powder
-
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Spray a 12-count muffin pan with cooking spray. Mold biscuits to the shape of each muffin cup. Par-bake biscuits for 6 to 8 minutes until light golden. Remove from oven and set aside. You will probably need to smash them down with the back of a spoon.
- Heat the 2 tbls. oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and brown. Stir in the onions, salt, pepper and garlic and allow to cook together for a couple of minutes.
- Mix flour into the meat mixture and stir until a paste consistency is reached. Add beef stock to pan and stir in vegetables and herbs, the last few minutes, until combined.
- Reheat mashed potatoes in a microwave for 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in granulated garlic and onion powder.
- Spoon equal amounts (approximately 2 tablespoons) of warm potatoes on the bottoms of each par-baked biscuit. Then top with equal amounts of beef mixture (approximately 2 tablespoons). Finally top with equal amounts of Cheddar cheese.
- Return to oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until cheese is melted and browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before popping individual pies out with a knife. Enjoy!
