Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400. Spray a 13×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. In a large Dutch oven, add water to fill halfway. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; add potatoes and carrots. Cook for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  3. In same pot, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon using a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels, reserving drippings in pot.

  4. Sprinkle salt and pepper all over beef. Add to pot and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from pot.

  5. Add mushrooms and oil to pot; cook until tender 4-5 minutes. Remove from pot and set aside.

  6. Add all onions and garlic to pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes. Return carrots and potatoes to pot. Add wine, scraping browned bits from bottom of pot with a wooden spoon. Add broth and tomato paste, stirring until combined. Add beef, mushrooms, half and half, and thyme. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Stir in bacon. Spoon into prepared pan.

  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry into a 15×11-inch rectangle. Transfer to prepared pan, pressing edges to seal.

  8. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly. Garnish with thyme and pepper.
