Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp taco seasoning
• 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
• 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (for a 9-inch pie)
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook and crumble the meat until it's fully browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and frozen corn. Mix well and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Remove the mixture from heat and stir in 1 cup of the shredded Mexican cheese blend. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 6

Unroll one pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Spoon the cooled beef mixture evenly into the pie crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle another 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese blend over the top of the filling.

Step 8

Unroll the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Pinch and seal the edges of the pie crusts together. Trim any excess crust.

Step 9

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give it a golden and shiny finish. Cut a few small slits in the center of the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve warm.
