Note

The ingredient list in the original source included additional items not listed in the structured ingredients section: 2 lb ground round, 2 md onions, 1 sprig parsley, 1/4 c chopped shallots, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 can chopped mushrooms, 2 ts Worcestershire sauce, 2 tb roux, 1 c boiling water, 1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell, 1 c grated sharp cheddar cheese, 1 tb bacon drippings, salt, and pepper. Ensure these are gathered before starting.

For a richer flavor, you can use half-and-half instead of milk and cream in the mashed potatoes.

If you do not have bacon drippings, you can substitute with butter or olive oil for browning the beef.

Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the filling to set slightly.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350ðF until warmed through.
