Spicy Bean And Beef Pie Recipes

Steps:

• In a skillet, cook beef and garlic until beef is browned, drain.
• In a large bowl, combine soup, 1 cup picante sauce, cornstarch, parsley, paprika, salt and pepper, mix well.
• Fold in beans, 1 ¼ cup cheese, ½ cup onions and the beef mixture.
• Place bottom crust in a 10" pie pan. Pour beef mixture in crust.
• Top with remaining pastry, seal and flue edges. Cut slits in the top crust.
• Bake at 425 for 30-35 minutes or until lightly brown.
• Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
• Garnish with sour cream, olives, remaining picante, cheese and onions.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch cake pan with cooking spray and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, onions and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until the onions are soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the beef, sprinkle it with the cumin, cinnamon, Aleppo pepper, allspice, 1 teaspoon salt and a few turns of black pepper and cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon or spatula, until it is fully cooked and no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
• Soak the matzo in warm water for a few minutes until it has softened. Line the bottom and sides of the prepared cake pan with the matzo pieces, breaking it up as needed and packing it down firmly. It will look a little rustic which is ok. Use a paper towel to blot away excess moisture once the matzo is in the pan, then pour in the beef mixture and pack it down firmly. Cover the top with soaked matzo, pressing the edges to seal, and then brush it with a healthy coating of egg wash. Bake until browned, about 30 minutes.
• Let cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto a plate. Top with parsley or micro greens and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cook and stir ground beef and onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat until meat is browned and crumbly, 7 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in diced tomatoes, green chiles, cilantro, and taco seasoning mix. Remove from heat.
• Mix black beans and 1 can red enchilada sauce in a bowl until creamy.
• Mix pepperjack cheese and Monterey Jack cheese together in a separate bowl.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook tortillas, one at a time, until slightly crisp, about 15 seconds per side.
• Place one tortilla on the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Spread a generous layer of black bean mixture on top of tortilla, then spread a layer of ground beef mixture on top. Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese mixture on top of meat mixture and pour 1/4 cup red enchilada sauce over the top. Repeat the tortilla, bean, meat, cheese, and sauce layering process, finishing with cheese and enchilada sauce on top.
• Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbling and enchiladas are cooked through, about 40 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes and serve with sour cream.

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a heavy-based flameproof casserole pan on a medium heat. Fry the meat in batches until browned, then remove from the pan and set aside.
• Turn down the heat, add the remaining oil to the pan and cook the onion, garlic and ginger for a few mins until starting to soften. Crush the Sichuan peppercorns using a pestle and mortar, then add the flour and mix well. Add the spiced flour to the onion, mix well until all the onion is coated, then return the meat to the pan along with the tomato purée, carrots, star anise and cinnamon. Give everything a good stir, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1 min.
• Add the soy sauce, chillies and 400ml water. Bring up to a simmer and cook very slowly - the sauce should be bubbling gently but not boiling - for 1½ hrs until the meat is really tender. Leave to cool.
• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Once cool, spoon the filling into a 2-litre pie dish, removing the cinnamon stick, chillies and star anise. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface until it is about 2cm larger than the dish. Put a pie funnel in the middle of the pie (it will stop the pastry sinking and becoming soggy).
• Brush the edges of the dish with a little of the egg to help the pastry seal. Lay the pastry over the top, pressing down well. Pierce centre and trim off the excess pastry with a sharp knife. Brush liberally with egg and bake for 30-35 mins.

Steps:

• 1. In a skillet, cook beef and garlic until beef is browned; drain.
• 2. In a large bowl, combine soup, 1 cup of picante sauce, cornstarch, parsley, paprika, salt and pepper; mix well.
• 3. Fold in beans, 1 1/4 cups of cheese, 1/2 cup onions and the beef mixture.
• 4. Line pie plate with bottom pastry; fill with bean mixture. Top with remaining pastry; seal and flute edges.
• 5. Cut slits in the top crust.
• 6. Bake at 425 for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned.
• 7. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
• 8. Garnish with sour cream, olives and remaining picante sauce, cheese and onions.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large saucepan with a lid. Season meat, then cook about one-third over a high heat for 10 mins until browned. Tip onto a plate and repeat with 2 tbsp of oil and rest of the meat.
• Add a splash of water and scrape pan to remove bits. Add ½ tbsp oil. Turn heat down, fry onion and garlic until softened. Return meat to the pan, add flour and stir for 1 min. Add treacle, cumin, tomatoes and stock. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hr 45 mins. Stir occasionally and check that the meat is covered with liquid.
• Add peppers and beans, and cook for a further 15 mins. The stew can now be cooled and kept in the fridge for 2 days, or frozen for 1 month. Serve in bowls, with sour cream, coriander and cornbread.
