Meat Pie

It is very common in Scandinavia, to make a meat pie for a great lunch or supper. It is a perfect meal to take with you in a lunch box to work – or it can be served at home with a glass of white wine.
I made a very simple meat pie, and served it with a salad. Delicious.

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 onion
• 1 can mushrooms
• 2,5 tbsp tomato paste
• salt and pepper
• 1 can corn
• 1 tsp oregano
• 0,5 tbsp white flour
• 1 garlic clove
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 shredded cheese
• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust, chilled

Brown ground beef well with chopped onion. (Drain fat off if needed)

Add tomato paste, white flour, shredded garlic clove, corn, mushrooms and spice it up with salt, pepper and oregano.

Mix two eggs in a bowl with shredded cheese. Add some more oregano in the egg mix if you like oregano.

Bake the 9-inch pie shell alone without meat mix, in oven, about 5-10 minutes 400 degrees.

Spread meat mixture in baked pie shell. Pour the egg and cheese mixture on top of the pie.

Bake it in oven, 400 degrees about 20-25 minutes.

Serve the pie with salad and a glass of white wine – and whalaaa; you have a delicious light meal!

If you do not have an already made pie crust – you can easily make your own;

mix together 8 tablespoons butter, 1 1/3 cups bleached all-purpose flour and 1-3 tbsp water.
