Directions
- 1
Mash the boiled potatoes with 2/3 tbsp butter. Cut 2 squares in the bottom of the chip can and place mashed potatoes inside. Use a rolling pin covered in foil to push the mashed potatoes out through the squares into the hot oil. Cut with scissors when the fries are to the length of your liking. Salt and set aside.

Cut a large rectangle of foil, fold it in half, and roll it around the rolling pin, pinching the end to make a leaf shape. Repeat until you have 4 foil 'leaves'.

Brush one puff pastry sheet with water, cover with the second sheet, and cut into 5 sections. Place the foil circles on the rolling pin and wrap the dough sections around the foil to give them the same shape. Save the dough scraps and roll out into a square of puff pastry. Place the pastry square on a parchment lined baking sheet, then place the 4 circles of dough on top to form a clover. Brush the area between the circles and the pastry base with water. Cut out the outline of the clover with a knife and remove the excess dough. Prick the bottom of the circles with a fork and surround the outside of the clover with another strip of foil. Use toothpicks to hold the circles together and bake for 30 minutes at 375 °F.

Cook the red onion and chopped bell peppers in a frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and add in the ground beef. Sprinkle with Chefclub's Ground Beef Spice Mix and add remaining butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar and half of the grated swiss cheese. Remove the foil and toothpicks from the baked clover and fill the inside with the ground beef mix. Add the remaining grated swiss cheese and bake for 10 minutes at 375 °F. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, serve with the french fries, and enjoy!

What to Expect
Imagine digging into a golden-brown, decorative pastry crust to reveal a hearty, flavorful filling beneath. You'll first encounter the savory depth of seasoned ground beef, beautifully complemented by the vibrant crunch and subtle sweetness of a colorful trio of red, green, and yellow bell peppers alongside a red onion. Nestled atop this savory foundation are creamy, mashed potatoes, crowned with a generous layer of melted grated Swiss cheese.

Customization & Variations
While delicious as is, this Ground Beef Clover Pie is wonderfully versatile. You could swap out the Swiss cheese for another good melting cheese like cheddar or Gruyère if you prefer a different cheesy note. For an extra pop of savory depth, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture. If you're looking to reduce the sweetness, you can adjust the amount of raw cane sugar to your liking.
