SAVORY MEAT PIE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375. In a skillet, combine beef, onion, garlic, potatoes, carrots, and any other vegetables if you choose more. Cook while breaking up the meat over medium heat until the beef is cooked through. (I usually cook the meat about halfway through first, then add the rest). Lower the heat to medium, add the beer, steak sauce, and chili powder and cook another 10 minutes. Add the cheese, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper (I like to add cayenne pepper too). Let cool
• 2. Roll out your puff pastries or pastry dough (X2). I cheat and use store bought cold pastry rolls, but feel free to make your own special pie dough! Transfer the first pastry or puff crust into a deep dish pie pan or cast iron skillet. Transfer meat mix into the pie dish or skillet. Put the top crust on and press the edges closed.
• 3. Place the pie on a baking sheet. Brush top with egg and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place an X into the pastry top and then bake for 30 minutes (or check to see how dark the crust is). Take out and cool for 15 minutes. Serve and enjoy this savory pie!
• 4. You are welcome to play around with the ingredients in this filling. It should always have the ground beef, potatoes, carrots, and beer. I usually add red bell peppers, peas, and corn if it needs more bulk. I also use malt beer if I do not have dark beer as it has a "bite" to it like dark beer does. I often add Worcestershire sauce for extra richness and cayenne for a "kick." Have fun and enjoy this savory comfort food.
