Beef Pie

This recipe is for one of the many casserole-style meals Mom often made. It has everything needed for a hearty meal in one pan. This beef pie can be assembled in advance, if needed, then just heated up for serving. Recently, I made this recipe for a family get together at Mom's for Mother's Day.

When I made this recipe, I used Jiffy biscuit mix. But, if you do not have biscuit baking mix on hand, a homemade substitute can be assembled using flour, baking soda, salt, and butter. Because I like the flavor that the Worcestershire sauce adds to this recipe, I used more than what the recipe calls for to give the pie a stronger flavor. I used about two pounds of raw ground beef for this recipe, which worked out to be about three cups; but the amount of ground beef could be changed to make the pie meatier or less so.

Beef Pie 

• 2 cups biscuit mix
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 3 cups cooked ground beef
• 10 ounce package frozen mixed vegetables
• 1/2 cup catsup
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 2 cups shredded cheddar

Combine biscuit mix and milk to form into a ball. Roll out and fit into a greased 13x9x2 inch pan. Brown the beef in a pan. Add onion to beef and saute until the onion is cooked. Add the vegetables, catsup, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper. Spoon over dough. Combine sour cream, egg, and salt and pepper. Spread over pie. Top with cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Enjoy!
