Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 2 lb Potatoes
• 1 Onion
• 2 Carrots
• 1 cup Tomato sauce
• 1/4 cup Butter
• 1/2 cup Milk
• 2 Eggs
• 1/2 cup Olives

Steps

1. Boil the potatoes and mash with butter, milk, and salt into a smooth, firm puree.
2. Brown the beef with onion and carrot; stir in the tomato sauce and simmer 15 minutes.
3. Hard-boil the eggs and slice; the egg layer is the empadão signature.
4. Spread half the mash in a baking dish, then the beef, egg slices, and olives.
5. Cap with the remaining mash and rake the top with a fork for crispy ridges.
6. Bake at 400 degrees 25 minutes until golden; rest 10 minutes before serving squares.
