Chef tips
To ensure an extra-juicy filling, sear the ground beef over high heat until it is well-browned. This adds a deep flavor and a wonderful texture to every bite of your pie. Mix things up by adding chopped mushrooms or olives to the filling. Serve the pie with a crisp green salad and vinaigrette to perfectly balance the rich flavors.
