Recipe View 40 mins Bake in the preheated oven until the pie crust is lightly browned and golden, about 35-40 minutes. Let the pie cool slightly before serving. (Estimated time: 40 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef in a skillet before boiling. This will add depth to the dish.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the filling, such as carrots, celery, or peas.
A dash of Worcestershire sauce or a splash of red wine vinegar can enhance the savory notes of the pie.
Serve with a side of mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
If you want to avoid the crust, this recipe also tastes great with a puff pastry topping!
