• 1/2 onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)

For the Gravy

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

1. Heat a pan over medium heat.
2. Cook ground beef until browned, breaking it apart.
3. Add onion and garlic, sauté until soft and fragrant.
4. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 2: Make the Gravy

1. Sprinkle flour over the beef and stir well.
2. Gradually add beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps.
3. Add Worcestershire sauce and simmer until thickened.
4. Stir in heavy cream and mustard for a rich, creamy texture.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Line a pie dish with the crust.
3. Pour the beef mixture into the crust.
4. Sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella evenly on top.

Step 4: Bake

1. Brush crust edges with egg wash for a golden finish.
2. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.

Step 5: Rest & Serve

1. Let the pie rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing (helps set the filling).
2. Slice and serve warm.

✨ Pro Tips

• Let the filling cool slightly before assembling → prevents soggy crust.
• Use a mix of cheeses for better melt and flavor.
• Add mushrooms or vegetables if you want extra texture.
• Resting is key → keeps the slice clean and structured.
