Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and black pepper. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
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.
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.
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.
Spoon the meat mixture into the pastry-lined pie dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the meat filling.
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.
Cut small slits in the top pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
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.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
