Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 Yellow onion, chopped
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 Egg, beaten
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp Ketchup
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 Puff pastry sheets
• 1 tbsp Butter, melted
• 1 tbsp Milk
• 0.25 cup Flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

Step 4

Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and black pepper. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef mixture with the breadcrumbs, beaten egg, and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir well to mix.

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets until slightly enlarged, maintaining a rectangular or circular shape depending on your pie dish.

Step 7

Lay one puff pastry sheet into a greased 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides. Trim any excess with a knife.

Step 8

Spoon the meat mixture into the pastry-lined pie dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the meat filling.

Step 10

Place the second puff pastry sheet over the filling as a top crust. Seal the edges by crimping them together with your fingers or a fork.

Step 11

Cut small slits in the top pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 12

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and milk to make an egg wash substitute. Brush this mixture over the top pastry for a golden finish.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.

Step 14

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
