Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. salad oil
- 1 1/2 lb. lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion
- 2 tbsp. chili powder
- 1 can red kidney beans
- 1 can Great Northern beans
- 1 can stewed tomatoes
- 1 package frozen whole-kernel corn
- 1 package frozen cut green beans
- 1 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 2 oz. shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 c. shortening
- Cilantro sprigs for garnish
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- In 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, in hot salad oil, cook ground beef and onion, stirring frequently, until pan juices evaporate and beef is browned. Stir in chili powder; cook 1 minute.
- Add red kidney beans, Great Northern beans, stewed tomatoes, frozen corn, frozen green beans, and cilantro. In 2-cup measuring cup, mix 1/4 cup flour with 1 1/4 cups water; stir into ground-beef mixture. Over high heat, heat to boiling.
- Spoon meat mixture into 13" by 9" glass or ceramic baking dish. Cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, prepare Cheddar crust: In large bowl, with fork, stir shredded cheese, salt, and 2 1/2 cups flour. With pastry blender or two knives used scissor-fashion, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle 6 to 7 tablespoons cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, into flour mixture, mixing lightly with fork after each addition, until dough is just moist enough to hold together.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. On lightly floured surface, with floured rolling pin, roll dough into a rectangle about 2 inches larger all around than top of baking dish. Gently arrange dough rectangle on filling. Trim edge, leaving 1-inch overhang. Fold overhang under; flute. Cut slits in crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Top crust with 3 sprigs of cilantro for garnish; brush top of pie and edge with egg.
- Place a sheet of foil underneath baking dish; crimp edges to form a rim to catch any drips during baking. Bake 40 to 45 minutes until crust is golden and filling is hot.
