**Deep Dish Hamburger Pie**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
– 2 tablespoons butter, melted
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it starts to brown, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.
3. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef and continue cooking until the onion is soft and translucent.
4. Season the beef mixture with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.
5. Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to thaw and cook through.
6. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
7. Roll out the pie crust and place it into a greased deep-dish pie pan, pressing it gently to line the bottom and sides of the pan.
8. Pour the slightly cooled beef and vegetable mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
9. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the beef mixture.
10. Place another layer of pie crust over the cheese, trimming any excess crust hanging over the pan.
11. Crimp the edges of the pie crust together to seal the pie.
12. Using a sharp knife, make a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
13. Brush the melted butter over the top crust to help it achieve a golden, flaky finish.
14. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
15. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
