This is a fun main to enjoy for your Purim festive meal. It looks like sweet pie with pink meringue on top. It’s actually a ground beef pie topped with mashed potatoes tinted with beets.

Directions
Make Filling 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine barbecue sauce, parve milk, molasses, cocoa & chili powder. Whisk together until warm and cocoa is completely dissolved. Set aside. 3. Sauté onion in oil until translucent, about 7 minutes. 4. In a large bowl, combine salt, celery powder, pepper & breadcrumbs. 5. Add ground beef, egg, sauce mixture & onion. Combine thoroughly. 6. Place frozen pie shell in oven-safe pie dish. Fill with meat mixture; spread evenly. 7. Bake until meat is cooked through, about 1 hour. Make Topping 8. While pie is baking, make mashed potato topping. Boil potatoes until tender, about 12 minutes. 9. Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, puree beets and ¼ C warm parve milk. 10. Drain potatoes well. In a large bowl, mash potatoes; mix with beet mixture and mayonnaise. Use a hand mixer to whip until potatoes are smooth & fluffy. Assemble 11. When meat is cooked, spread hot potatoes over the top; use a spatula to swirl like whipped cream, mounding slightly in the center. (You may have to microwave the potatoes to warm them up.) |
