Intro

Rancher's Pie is a classic comfort food, but around here, we like to do it with a little Texas spirit - hearty wagyu ground beef from Phelan Farms, smoky spices, and a creamy mashed potato topping that’s just right. Perfect for those cooler nights when you want something that feels like a warm hug from the Lone Star State.

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Boil potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook wagyu ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add onion and garlic, cook until softened. Stir in tomato paste, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
Add corn, black beans, diced tomatoes, and beef broth. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer beef mixture to a baking dish, spread mashed potatoes evenly on top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the potato topping is golden and the filling is bubbly.
Serves: 4-6
Perfect for: Family dinners, hearty meals after a long day, and sharing that Texas warmth around the table.
