  • Olive Oil

  • Ground Beef

How to Make Beef And Onion Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, brown the beef over medium-high heat. Remove beef and set aside.
  3. Add onions to the skillet and cook until softened and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Return the beef to the skillet. Stir in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and salt and pepper.
  5. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, or until beef is tender.
  6. If desired, thicken the sauce by mixing 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour (or cornstarch) to create a slurry. Add to the simmering beef mixture and stir continuously until thickened.
  7. If using a two-crust pie, place the bottom crust in the skillet or a pie dish. Pour the beef and onion mixture into the crust.
  8. If using a single crust, simply pour the beef and onion mixture into a baking dish.
  9. If using a top crust, cover the pie with the second crust, crimping the edges to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  10. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
