Ingredients

• 500 g ground beef
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 120 ml beef broth
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 200 g shredded cheddar cheese
• 100 g shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 rolls premade pie crust
• 1 large, beaten egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat and let the beef mixture cool slightly.

Step 6

Unroll one premade pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it firmly into the bottom and sides.

Step 7

Spoon half of the beef mixture into the pie crust and spread evenly. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the beef.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining beef mixture and cheeses, creating two layers.

Step 9

Unroll the second pie crust and place it over the filled pie. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges together to seal. Make a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 10

Brush the beaten egg over the top crust for a golden finish.

Step 11

Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.

Step 12

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
