Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 egg white, beaten
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (for a 9-inch pie)
Instructions
1. Preheat Your Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure it’s at the perfect temperature when your pie is ready to go in.
2. Prepare the Pie Crust
Unroll the pie crusts and fit one of them into a 9-inch pie pan according to the package instructions. This will be the bottom layer of your pie.
3. Cook the Beef Mixture
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is well-browned. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent and tender. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
4. Combine Ingredients
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley, black pepper, and cream cheese. Mix well until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth. If the filling seems too thick, you can add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
5. Assemble the Pie
Pour the beef mixture into the pie crust lined pan, spreading it evenly. Place the second pie crust on top of the filling. Seal and flute the edges of the crust to prevent any filling from escaping. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
6. Brush and Bake
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg white to give it a golden, glossy finish. Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
7. Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it stand for 10 minutes. This cooling time will help the filling set, making it easier to cut into wedges. Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors of beef stroganoff encased in a delicious pie crust.
