Our Favorite Italian Meat Pie image

Just a little something that came together one night years ago when my kiddos were actually smaller than me! I was trying to come up with something new and relatively quick that would please everyone. They still love and request this dinner on a regular basis!

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (8 count) cans crescent rolls
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (2 cups)
1 egg, beaten
1 (8 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained (optional)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375*.
  • Brown ground beef and onions, seasoning with salt and pepper. Drain well.
  • Put meat back into pan and add enough spaghetti sauce to coat the meat well but not make it soupy (usually about half a jar for me). I like Ragu Old World Style, Mushroom Flavor.
  • Stir in the mushrooms if your family will eat them!
  • Line an 8x8 pan with about 6 of the crescent rolls (I use Pillsbury Reduced Fat crescent rolls and they work fine!), sealing the seams by smooshing them together and making the rolls go about an inch up the sides of the pan.
  • Mix the beaten egg with one cup of shredded mozzarella (I use the 2% shredded cheese and that works well!), then spread it evenly over the top of the crescent rolls.
  • Top egg and cheese layer with ground beef mixture.
  • Sprinkle remaining cup of cheese over the top of the meat layer.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is nicely melted and lightly browned and crescent rolls crust is done.
  • Roll up remaining crescent rolls and bake along side the meat pie.
  • Let meat pie rest on the counter or table for about 5 minutes or so to make it easier to serve.
  • Serve the meat pie with the crescent rolls and a great salad. Enjoy!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie didn't turn out very well.

I would have liked the pie more if the crust had been a little crispier.

This is the best meat pie I've ever had! The crust was flaky and the filling was delicious.

I thought this pie was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the crust.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pie turned out great! I used a pre-made pie crust to save time.

This Italian meat pie was a hit at our dinner party! The flavors were fantastic and the crust was perfectly flaky. I'll definitely be making this again.
