Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out one pie crust and fit into a 9-inch pie dish.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Bake until golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 20-25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing.
