Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook the Beef Filling:
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, chopped onion, and garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, about 5-7 minutes.
- Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped jalapeños, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Stir in the shredded cheese until melted and well mixed.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Roll out one pie crust and place it in a pie dish. Fill it with the beef and cheese mixture.
- Roll out the second pie crust and place it on top. Seal the edges by crimping them together. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- If desired, brush the top with the beaten egg and sprinkle with extra cheese.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
- Serve:
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy your spicy beef and cheese pie!
Tips:
- Feel free to customize the spice level by adding more or fewer jalapeños or using a different type of cheese.
- This pie pairs well with a fresh salad or some salsa on the side.
