Description

This unique savory pie swaps the traditional pastry for a sturdy, flavorful crust made from seasoned ground beef, breadcrumbs, and warm spices like allspice and nutmeg. The filling is a creamy, comforting blend of canned sweet potatoes, milk, eggs, and a touch of brown sugar and lemon juice for brightness. It offers a delightful contrast between the savory, spiced meat shell and the soft, slightly sweet potato center. Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or a potluck contribution, this dish is simple to assemble and bakes into a golden, satisfying meal that feels both rustic and refined.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, allspice, nutmeg, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix thoroughly by hand until evenly distributed.
  3. Press the beef mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate, forming an even crust. Ensure the edges are sealed. Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
  4. In a separate large bowl, drain the canned sweet potatoes. Using a potato masher, mash them until relatively smooth.
  5. To the mashed sweet potatoes, add 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup milk, 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon softened butter, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Stir the filling ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth and well-combined.
  7. Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared beef crust, spreading it evenly to the edges.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
