Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 package (14 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

How to Make Savory Meat Pie

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Once the beef is cooked through, drain any excess fat. Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
5. Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the breadcrumbs until well combined. This will help absorb any excess moisture.
6. Roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the meat mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.
7. Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal and cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
8. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
10. Once baked, let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• For added flavor, consider sautéing some mushrooms or bell peppers with the onions.
• Ensure the beef is well-drained to prevent a soggy crust.
• If using homemade pie crust, chill it before rolling out for easier handling.
• Allow the pie to rest after baking to help the filling set.

Easy Variations

• Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
• Add vegetables like peas, carrots, or corn for extra nutrition.
• For a spicier kick, incorporate some diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce into the filling.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh green salad with a tangy vinaigrette pairs beautifully.
• Serve with mashed potatoes or creamy coleslaw for a comforting side.
• A side of steamed vegetables adds a nice contrast.
