Time: 50 minutes prep, 20 minutes cook
Servings: 6 Servings
Directions
- Place all the ingredients in a saucepan except the bread crumbs. Bring to a boil and cook 20 minutes, uncovered, over medium heat, stirring often to break up the meat. Remove from heat.
- Add a few spoonfuls of bread crumbs and let stand 10 minutes. If fat is sufficiently absorbed by the bread crumbs, do not add more. If not, continue in the same manner (adding more until all the fat is absorbed)
- Cool and pour meat mixture into a pastry-lined pie pan. Cover with pastry. Bake in a 400 degrees F oven until the top is well browned and the dough is cooked on the bottom. Serve hot with ketchup on top.
