Categories: ground beef, not tried
Ingredients
- 11/2 lbs. ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
- 1 lg. onion, finely chopped
- 1 can Campbell's condensed Golden Mushroom soup
- 4 Tbs. liquid beef bouillon
- 11/2 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
- 9" pie crust, top and bottom
- a few drops of cooking oil
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400° F.
-
Brown the onions and garlic in a large skillet on medium heat until caramelized. Just let the onions sit on the fire in the pan, uncovered, for several minutes at a time before stirring them – this will get them nice and brown for you!
-
Add beef and brown with the caramelized onions, crumbling thoroughly and draining fat (I use a potato masher to break up the meat really well).
-
Add spices, sauces and soup; simmer mixture over medium-low heat about six to ten minutes, until thoroughly warmed through.
-
Place your first pie shell in a compatibly-sized pie tin or glass pie baking dish, and transfer the warmed mixture into it; cover with a second pie shell, trim edges neatly of excess dough with a knife and press the edges of the top and bottom crusts together really well with the tines of a fork to seal in the meat filling.
-
Brush the top of the pie shell with a little oil so it browns nicely in the oven, and cut four or five small, decorative slits in the top so the pie can vent as it bakes. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 400 degrees F. for approximately 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden.
