Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups cooked pinto beans (drained and rinsed if using canned)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 0.5 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces frozen or homemade pie crusts
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Then stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the pinto beans, tomato paste, beef broth, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Spoon the hamburger bean mixture evenly into the crust.
Cover the filling with the second pie crust. Trim any excess dough, then crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the top crust lightly with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
