Ingredients

  • 1 package pie crusts (store-bought, 2 per package)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1 cup beef gravy
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any overhang.

  2. 2

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the 1 lb ground beef and 1 diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  3. 3

    Stir in the 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables and 1 cup beef gravy. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Pour the filling into the pie crust. Roll out the second crust and cut into 1-inch strips. Arrange strips in a lattice pattern over the filling, pressing edges to seal.

  5. 5

    Beat the 1 egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush over the lattice. Bake until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly, 25-30 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

  6. 6

    Slice and serve warm.
