Ingredients
- For the Filling:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and corn)
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Crust:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4-6 tbsp cold water
- Optional:
- 1 egg, beaten (for brushing)
Note: You can substitute store-bought pie crust for convenience.
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
- In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt.
- Add the chilled butter and cut it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
- Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Make the Filling:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until softened.
- Stir in the frozen vegetables, beef broth, tomato paste, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out half of the dough on a floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.
- Add the meat filling, spreading it evenly.
- Roll out the remaining dough and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal.
- Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish (optional).
- Bake:
- Place the pie in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
