Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 (3 oz) package cream cheese, softened

For the Mashed Potatoes:

  • 56 large potatoes, cooked and mashed (or use potato flakes according to the box directions)
  • 3 tablespoons butter

For the Biscuit Crust:

  • 1 tube (12 oz) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

Topping:

  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (any kind will work)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Filling:

    • Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
    • Add chopped onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is soft. Stir in ketchup, apple cider vinegar, mixed vegetables, and salt. Cook for another 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in softened cream cheese.
  • Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:

    • Mash the cooked potatoes with butter until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  • Assemble the Pies:

    • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or individual pie pans.
    • Roll out refrigerated buttermilk biscuits and flatten each one to fit the muffin cups. Place each biscuit in a muffin tin cup to form a crust.
    • Spoon the beef mixture into each muffin cup and top with mashed potatoes. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  • Bake the Pies:

    • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve:

    • Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • Variations: Substitute ground beef with turkey or chicken, or make it vegetarian by using lentils or tofu. Add more vegetables like peas or carrots for extra flavor.
  • Meal Prep: Make these ahead of time and store in the fridge or freeze for later.
