Ingredients
– 1 lb ground beef or lamb
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp dried thyme
– 1 tsp dried rosemary
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
– 1 sheet of pre-made pie crust or homemade dough
– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
1. – Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. – In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat until browned, 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
3. – Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until onions are translucent.
4. – Stir in the thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
5. – Roll out the pie crust and line a 9-inch pie dish with the bottom crust.
6. – Spoon the meat filling into the crust-lined pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
7. – Top with the remaining pie crust, crimp the edges to seal, and cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
8. – Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg.
9. – Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
10. – Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a flakier crust, you can freeze the assembled pie for 30 minutes before baking. Serve with a side salad or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
