Ground beef can be served in a pie.
There are several types of ground beef pie, from traditional shepherd’s pie to meatloaf. Consisting of a mixture of ground beef served under a bed of crackers or a crust, ground meatloaf commonly incorporates vegetables and sauce in a casserole-style dish. A common denominator with all versions of mince pie is the one-dish meal concept that makes the recipes so popular with many people.
Shepherd’s pie consists of ground beef, vegetables, and potatoes.
Shepherd’s pie combines ground beef, vegetables and whipped potatoes in a ground meat pie. Another type of ground beef dish uses frozen potatoes on a bed of meat, vegetables, and sauce. Known as the Tater Tot® hot plate, this ground beef pie often appeals to younger diners who enjoy puffed potato delights. The pizza casserole combines ground beef with pizza sauce and a cookie topping. Once the ground beef is browned, it is combined with pizza sauce and placed in the bottom of a casserole dish, then crackers are placed on top of the meat and cheese mixture on top.
Ground meatloaf usually includes vegetables and gravy.
Other versions of ground beef pie use mushroom soup mixed with ground beef. The mixture is sealed in a sort of pie crust and baked until golden brown. Variations of this dish can include mixed greens, corn, and peas. Mushroom soup forms a kind of thick sauce that makes it a healthy meal. This dish is occasionally served with buttered egg noodles or rice.
Taco pie combines ground beef with taco seasoning and water to form a meaty taco filling. It’s baked under a cookie glaze and served with lettuce, cheese and dressing for a taste of old Mexico in a casserole dish. A tamale pie is made by combining ground beef with tamale seasoning and tomato sauce. This mixture is seasoned and placed in a saucepan and covered with a cornmeal mixture, and the dish is cooked until the cornmeal dough on top is golden brown. Cornbread can be substituted for the top crust and baked until golden brown.
The barbecue pie consists of a canned sloppy joe mix that is mixed with browned ground beef and placed in a skillet. The mixture is topped with onions and crackers and then baked until golden brown. Spaghetti pot pie is another type of ground meat pot pie that combines spaghetti sauce with ground beef and is mixed with cooked spaghetti noodles or elbow noodles. The mixture is covered with slices of garlic bread. Mozzarella cheese is generously sprinkled on the plate and baked until the bread is golden brown.
