Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package refrigerated pie crust
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the salsa, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine. Remove from heat.
Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess edges.
Spoon the beef mixture evenly into the pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.
Fold the edges of the pie crust over the filling in a rustic style (it doesn't need to cover the entire filling).
Brush the crust with the beaten egg to help it achieve a golden-brown finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling slightly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh cilantro if using, and serve warm.
