  • Ingredients

    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 250 g lean ground beef
    • 1 yellow onion, chopped
    • 2 tsp chili powder (optional)
    • Salt and freshly ground pepper
    • 1 can (540 ml) black beans, rinsed and drained
    • ¾ cup chili sauce
    • 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
    • 4 (9-inch) pie crusts
    • 1 egg, beaten
  • Preparation

    1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
    2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef, onion and chili powder for 5 minutes, making sure to crumble the meat well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    3. Stir in the beans, chili sauce and corn. Mix well.
    4. Line two 9-inch (23 cm) pie plates with two of the crusts and fill with the beef mixture. Cover with the other two crusts and press the edges well with your fingers or a fork to make sure they're properly sealed.
    5. Brush the pies with beaten egg and bake for 25 minutes, or until the pies are golden brown.
