Spicy Beef and Cheese Pie

Ingredients

• Filling:
• 1 pound shredded cooked brisket
• 2 jalapeños, chopped (seeds removed for milder flavor)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups beef broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• For the Pie:
• 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and sauté the chopped onion and jalapeños until they are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Combine Filling Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the shredded brisket, sautéed vegetables, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, flour, beef broth, heavy cream, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
4. Prepare the Pie Crusts: Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the beef mixture into the crust.
5. Top with Second Crust: Cover the filling with the second pie crust. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
6. Bake the Pie: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
7. Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips

• Add More Spice: If you like it spicier, consider adding more jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
• Sides: This pie pairs well with a fresh salad or some roasted vegetables.
