Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 cup salsa
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 package refrigerated pie crust
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Stir in the salsa, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess edges.

Step 5

Spoon the beef mixture evenly into the pie crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.

Step 7

Fold the edges of the pie crust over the filling in a rustic style (it doesn't need to cover the entire filling).

Step 8

Brush the crust with the beaten egg to help it achieve a golden-brown finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling slightly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh cilantro if using, and serve warm.
