How to Make Alex S Favorite Beef And Cheese Pie
- Brown 1 lb ground beef, 1 medium onion (chopped), and 1 green bell pepper (chopped) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Drain off excess grease.
- Stir in 1 (24 ounce) jar tomato sauce, 1 (15 ounce) can green beans (drained), and 1 teaspoon garlic salt.
- Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the beef mixture simmers, unfold 2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Press triangles onto the bottom and up the sides of two 9-inch pie plates, creating a thin crust with a slightly raised edge.
- In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 2 large eggs. Spread evenly over the bottom of each pie crust.
- Pour the beef mixture evenly into each pie crust.
- Sprinkle each pie with 1/2 teaspoon paprika and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
- Top each pie with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is golden brown and crust is cooked through.
- Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
