Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups cooked pinto beans (drained and rinsed if using canned)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 0.5 cup beef broth
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pieces frozen or homemade pie crusts
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Then stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the pinto beans, tomato paste, beef broth, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 6

Roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Spoon the hamburger bean mixture evenly into the crust.

Step 7

Cover the filling with the second pie crust. Trim any excess dough, then crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the top crust lightly with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 9

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
