Ingredients
For the Beef Pizza Pie, you will need the following ingredients:
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 medium onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Creating a Beef Pizza Pie is quite simple. Follow these steps for a delightful outcome:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. Drain excess fat.
3. Add Seasoning: Stir in the tomato sauce, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes until heated through.
4. Prepare the Crust: If using a pre-made crust, fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. If making a homemade crust, roll it out to fit the pie dish.
5. Layering the Ingredients: Spoon the beef mixture into the prepared crust. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
6. Cover with Crust: If you have excess crust, roll it out to create a top layer to cover the filling, or simply fold the edges of the bottom crust over the filling.
7. Egg Wash (Optional): If desired, beat the egg and brush it over the crust for a golden finish.
8. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
9. Cool: Once done, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the filling to set before cutting.
10. Slice and Serve: Cut into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Beef Pizza Pie!
