Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 1 medium, diced bell pepper (any color)
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 14.5-ounce can, drained diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 1 15-ounce can, rinsed and drained black beans
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 package (2 crusts for top and bottom) refrigerated pie crust
• 1 large, beaten egg
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking for 3-5 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and frozen corn. Cook for another 5 minutes until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Unroll one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.

Step 6

Spoon the beef filling into the pie dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the filling.

Step 7

Unroll the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim the edges and crimp together the top and bottom crusts to seal.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Step 11

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