Description

This Saucy Bean & Beef Pie is a comforting, protein-packed dinner that delivers deep savory flavors with every bite. The dish features a sturdy crust made from lean ground beef, breadcrumbs, and cream of mushroom soup, providing a rich base for the filling. Inside, tender French-cut green beans are enveloped in a creamy mushroom sauce, creating a moist and satisfying center. The pie is finished with a generous topping of crispy French-fried onions, which add a delightful crunch and golden color. Perfect for busy weeknights or potlucks, this one-pan meal requires minimal prep time but offers maximum flavor. It pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or crusty bread to soak up any extra sauce.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, half of the French-fried onions, bread crumbs, 1/4 cup of the cream of mushroom soup, egg, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
  3. Press the meat mixture evenly against the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-inch pie pan to form a crust.
  4. Drain the green beans and spread them evenly inside the meat crust.
  5. Pour the remaining cream of mushroom soup over the green beans, spreading it evenly to cover the vegetables.
  6. Bake uncovered for 35 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven, sprinkle the remaining French-fried onions evenly over the top, and return to the oven to bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  8. Let the pie cool for about 5 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving.

Note

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

If you prefer a thicker crust, you can add an extra tablespoon of breadcrumbs to the meat mixture.

Ensure the green beans are well-drained to prevent the filling from becoming too watery.

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