For an enhanced flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste to the beef mixture while cooking. Serve with a side of sour cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt for a cool contrast to the savory filling. Feel free to customize the filling with other vegetables such as bell peppers or corn. Ensure the beef mixture is adequately cooled before assembling the pie to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.

Finely chop the onion in a food processor. Mince the garlic using a garlic press and add it to the chopped onion.
02
Step
5 mins
Preheat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add canola oil, followed by the onion and garlic. Reduce the heat to medium and saute until the onion is golden and softened, about 5 minutes.
03

Dice the mushrooms in the food processor. Stir the diced mushrooms into the onion mixture and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until softened. Meanwhile, finely mince the Kalamata olives and set aside.

Step

Add oregano, paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes, and black pepper to the pan. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Crumble in the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula, until thoroughly browned, about 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the minced olives. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooling.
05

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray. Line the pie plate with one of the pie crusts.
06
Step
0 mins
Carefully spoon the cooled beef mixture into the crust-lined pie plate. Cover with the second pie crust. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash evenly over the entire surface of the top crust.

Step
47 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is heated through, about 45 to 50 minutes. Let the pie cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
