Instructions


  1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  2. Grease 6 (12- to 16-ounce) individual pie dishes with butter and set aside.
  3. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cook, stirring often, until onion is soft but not browned, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add ground beef and chorizo. Cook, stirring often, until meat is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle flour over mixture, and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in stock, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and oregano; bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring often, until flavors meld and vegetables soften, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  7. Spoon filling evenly into prepared dishes, about 2/3 cup filling each. Top evenly with sliced potatoes. Sprinkle potatoes with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Microwave remaining 1/4 cup butter in a small microwavable bowl on high until melted, about 1 minute. Brush melted butter evenly over potatoes.
  8. Transfer dishes to preheated oven. Bake until pies are golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven; garnish with parsley, find a shepherd and thank him.
