Note

Ensure the beef filling is cooked through and thickened before assembling the pie to prevent a soggy bottom.

You can use leftover roast beef instead of ground round for a different texture.

If bacon drippings are unavailable, substitute with butter or oil.

Allow the pie to rest for 5-10 minutes after baking before serving to let the filling set.

For a crispier top, broil for the last 1-2 minutes of baking, watching closely to prevent burning.
