savory meat and cheese pie

 

This looks like a savory meat and cheese pie, possibly a variation of a cheeseburger or taco pie with a flaky crust, seasoned ground beef, vegetables, and lots of melted cheese.

Cheesy Beef Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pre-made pie crust
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp cumin (optional, for a taco-style twist)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk or heavy cream

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a greased pie dish and pre-bake for 5-7 minutes.
2. Cook the beef in a pan over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
3. Sauté onions, peppers, and garlic with the beef for 3-4 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and cumin.
4. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Stir in half of the shredded cheese.
5. Assemble the pie: Spread the beef mixture in the pie crust, then pour the egg mixture over it.
6. Top with remaining cheese and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
7. Cool for 10 minutes before slicing and enjoy!
