Meat Pie

Ingredients

• 2 sheets pie crust
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium onion
• 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 9-inch pie dish with one pie crust sheet, pressing it into the bottom and sides.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add 1 lb ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up, until browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Season with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.

4. 4

   Remove the beef mixture from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese.

5. 5

   Spoon the beef-cheese filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading evenly.

6. 6

   Place the second pie crust sheet over the filling. Trim excess, crimp edges to seal, and cut a few slits on top for steam to escape.

7. 7

   Beat 1 egg in a small bowl. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

8. 8

   Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 35-40 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
