Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium (diced) Yellow onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.333 cup Beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 2 9-inch rounds Pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 large (beaten, for egg wash) Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the cooked beef mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Lower the heat to medium and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 7

Roll out one 9-inch pie crust and line a 9-inch pie dish with it. Trim any excess overhang.

Step 8

Spoon the loose meat filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Place the second pie crust over the top of the filling. Trim, tuck, and crimp the edges to seal the pie.

Step 10

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 11

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to create a golden-brown finish.

Step 12

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Step 13

Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
