Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (for a 9-inch pie)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook and crumble the meat until it's fully browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and frozen corn. Mix well and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the mixture from heat and stir in 1 cup of the shredded Mexican cheese blend. Allow it to cool slightly.
Unroll one pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Spoon the cooled beef mixture evenly into the pie crust.
Sprinkle another 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese blend over the top of the filling.
Unroll the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Pinch and seal the edges of the pie crusts together. Trim any excess crust.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give it a golden and shiny finish. Cut a few small slits in the center of the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve warm.
