Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 300 grams Corn kernels (canned or frozen)
- 150 milliliters Heavy cream
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Butter for greasing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely diced onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Press the ground beef mixture evenly into the greased pie dish to form the 'crust,' ensuring it covers the bottom and sides of the dish. Use clean hands or the back of a spoon to smooth it out.
Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake the ground beef crust for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and drain any excess liquid carefully.
While the crust bakes, prepare the corn filling. If using canned corn, drain it. If using frozen corn, thaw it. Combine the corn kernels, heavy cream, grated cheddar cheese, and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Stir until evenly mixed.
Pour the corn mixture into the partially baked ground beef crust, spreading it out evenly.
Return the pie dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly bubbling around the edges.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Corn Pie with Ground Beef Crust!
