Meat Pie

Meat Pie (Mish2378)
(from MIL)

2/3 cup of flour
½ cup or corn starch
1/2 teaspoon of salt
3 tablespoons of water
1 stick of butter (cut it to make multiple slices)
1 lb of ground beef
1 yellow onion (chopped)
2 cloves of garlic (chopped)
4 boiled eggs
3 tablespoons of olive oil
6 green olives (chopped) * if desired *
Salt/Pepper as per your own taste.

To prepare dough/crust:
Mix the flour, starch and salt in a bowl.. form a “o” in the middle of the bowl and add the water and butter slices. Mix it up by hand until you have a good smooth mass. Put into the refrigerator for a 1 hour. As the end of the hour cut the mass in half (one half makes the bottom crust and the other will cover the top of the pie).

Take your pie dish and mold the bottom portion of the crust using one of the halves that were cut. Make sure it spreads evenly on the bottom and sides of the dish.

Filling:
Using a skillet and the olive oil, cook the meat, onions, garlic, olives until meat is ready. Once done take filling and put it over the bottom crust in the pie dish. Make sure filling is evenly distributed to even baking. Take the remaining dough and mold it to cover the top of the pie.

Preheat the oven at 350, once hot, insert completed pie dish into oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the top crust has a nice golden coloring.
