Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• STEP 2.In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

• STEP 4.Add the flour to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• STEP 5.Gradually whisk in the beef broth and milk. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened.

• STEP 7.Pour the beef mixture into a 9-inch pie dish.
• STEP 8.Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the beef mixture, trimming any excess pastry. Cut a few slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape.
• STEP 9.Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
• STEP 10.Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
• STEP 11.Serve the beef and cheddar potpie hot, with a side of salad or steamed vegetables.

Cooking Tips

• For a shortcut, you can use pre-cooked roast beef or leftover cooked beef instead of cooking the beef from scratch.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or corn to the potpie filling for extra flavor and texture.
• If you don't have a pie dish, you can use a casserole dish or individual ramekins for individual servings.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover beef and cheddar potpie can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the potpie in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the potpie hot, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme, if desired.
