Ingredients
- Ground beef
- Cremini mushrooms
- Onion
- Garlic
- Beef broth
- Thyme
- Salt
- Pepper
- All-purpose flour
- Butter or margarine
- Cold water
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef. Remove excess fat, then add diced onions and minced garlic; sauté until fragrant. Stir in chopped cremini mushrooms and cook until softened. Add beef broth, thyme, salt, and pepper; let simmer for 10 minutes.
- Make the Pie Crust: Combine all-purpose flour with butter or margarine in a mixing bowl until crumbly. Gradually add cold water until dough forms. Divide into two portions; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Assemble the Pie: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out one portion of dough to fit your baking dish, fill with the beef mixture, cover with rolled-out second dough portion, and seal edges.
- Bake: Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape, then bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown. Allow cooling slightly before slicing.
