  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 carrot, peeled and diced
  • 1 pound sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 3 T tomato paste
  • 3 T flour
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 3 cups beef stock or broth
  • 2 T worcestershire sauce
  • 1-2 t coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 pounds red potatoes, cut into quarters or sixths, depending on size
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1-2 cups milk, room temperature
  • 1 t coarse salt

Instruction

  • Make the potatoes: Pour chicken broth into pot, then place trivet on top of broth. Carefully place potatoes on trivet (it’s fine if a few fall through).
  • Close and lock the lid of the Instant Pot. Press “Manual” and immediately adjust the timer to 8 minutes. Check that the cooking pressure is on “high” and that the release valve is set to “Sealing”.
  • When time is up, open the IP using “Quick Pressure Release”. Remove the trivet from the pot, leaving behind the potatoes and broth. Add butter and 1 cup of milk. Mash with potato masher until smooth, adding more milk if necessary. Set aside while you make the filling.
  • Make the filling: Brown ground beef in a large skillet until no pink remains. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Drain most of the fat from the pan.
  • Add onions, carrots, mushrooms and green beans to skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes or until onions are soft. Add garlic and thyme and cook 1-2 minutes more, stirring frequently. Stir in tomato paste. Sprinkle in the flour and stir well for one more minute.
  • Add red wine and stir to combine. Whisk in beef stock and worcestershire sauce until smooth. Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Pour filling into a large baking dish (13x9). Carefully spread mashed potatoes over the filling, taking care to cover completely. Drizzle with melted butter, then sprinkle with parmesan.
  • Bake at 375F for 30 minutes, or until filling is bubbling and top is browned (place under broiler for an additional few minutes if necessary).
  • Remove from oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before enjoying.
