Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 9-inch pie dish with one pie crust sheet, pressing it into the bottom and sides.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add 1 lb ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up, until browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Season with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Remove the beef mixture from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese.

  5. Step 5

    Spoon the beef-cheese filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading evenly.

  6. Step 6

    Place the second pie crust sheet over the filling. Trim excess, crimp edges to seal, and cut a few slits on top for steam to escape.

  7. Step 7

    Beat 1 egg in a small bowl. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

  8. Step 8

    Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 35-40 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
