Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375F. Transfer the Beef Stew with Beer & Paprika into a 10-inch skillet or baking dish. Layer the Horseradish Mashed Potatoes over the stew with a spoon or spatula, spreading evenly to cover fully. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is beautifully crisped and golden brown.

Beef Stew with Beer & Paprika:

1. Warm the oil and butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in two batches, 2-3 minutes per batch. Transfer browned beef to a plate.
2. Add chopped onions to the pot and cook until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes. Stir in garlic for 1 more minute. Sprinkle in flour to coat, then pour in beef broth, beer, and a splash of water if needed. Add tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, paprika, salt, and pepper. Return beef to the pot and stir. Cover and simmer until beef is fork-tender and sauce thickens, about 1-2 hours. Garnish with parsley if desired.
3. If stew thickens too much, add a splash of water to reach perfect consistency.

Horseradish Mashed Potatoes:

1. Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a simmer. Boil 20-25 minutes until tender when pierced.
2. Drain, return to the pot over low heat, and mash to release steam.
3. Off heat, mix in butter, cream cheese, heavy cream, horseradish, seasoned salt, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mash until irresistibly creamy and smooth. Fold in chopped parsley.
