Test Kitchen Notes
This is for all you savory lovers out there. Yes, there's nothing like a sweet, fruit-filled pie for dessert, but filling a pie with ground meat is also cause for a celebration. This recipe does call for a homemade pie crust, but you can definitely use a store-bought one if you are crunched for time. Or feel free to use your own go-to pie crust recipe! Either way, the crust that was developed for this recipe is easy and foolproof, so do whatever works best for you. The delicious filling features lots of ground beef, chopped onions, tomato paste, beef broth, Montreal steak seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and some brown sugar for a touch of sweetness, as well as parsley for a touch of color and brightness. It all comes together in just one pan and couldn't be easier to make.
You can definitely experiment and change up this recipe as well. Try with ground pork or veal, if that's what you prefer, or add some potatoes, finely chopped or mashed, with the onions for a heartier pie. You can also try adding a little mustard powder or thyme or sage instead of the parsley. Use homemade or store-bought gravy instead of the broth. The possibilities are endless, so feel free to mix it up from time to time! Serve with some garlic bread or a fresh greens salad to balance the heavier entrée. We also suggest letting the pie rest after baking for a few minutes so it holds its shape better when you go to slice. —The Editors

- Meat Filling and Assembly
-
Heat the oven to 400*F. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the beef and cook, breaking apart with a wooden spoon, for about 5 minutes. Add the onions and mix well to combine. Continue to cook until the meat is no longer pink.

Grease a 9-inch pie dish. On a floured surface, roll out one of the dough balls to fit into the prepared dish. Place the round into the dish. Pour the meat filling inside the dough.
-
Roll out the other dough ball and place on top of the meat, fluting the edges.

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until very golden. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
