Note

Allow the pie to rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to help the filling set, making it easier to slice clean wedges.

For a lighter version, you can use lean turkey or chicken ground meat instead of beef.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.

If the soup seems too thick, you can thin it slightly with a tablespoon of milk or water before spreading it over the beans.
