Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out one pie crust and fit into a 9-inch pie dish.
Step 2
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook 1 lb ground beef with 1 chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves until beef is browned and onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Step 3
Stir in 2 tbsp tomato paste and 1/4 cup water. Simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4
Pour beef mixture into the crust. Top with the second crust, crimp edges to seal, and cut a few slits on top. Brush with beaten egg.
Step 5
Bake until golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 20-25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing.
