Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs (NOTE 1)
  • 1 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 egg
  • 8 ounces ground beef
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 pinch paprika powder
  • 1 pinch ginger powder
  • 1 pinch curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 tablespoon tomato ketchup
  • 1/2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
  • 5 sprigs parsley
  • 2 drops tabasco optional
  • 1 roll Pillsbury Butter Flake Crescents (NOTE 2)
  • 2 ounces Gruyere cheese (NOTE 3)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Place all ingredients (except of the crescent dough) in a bowl and mix well, but don't overmix. Leave some parsley for decoration.
  • Unroll the crescent dough, but don't separate the triangles. Use your fingers to better connect the triangles and roll the dough just a little thinner if necessary. (NOTE 4)
  • Cut the dough to cover the bottom and sides of the pie dish(es). Roll out the remaining pieces to create a lattice.
  • Divide the grated cheese over the bottom of the dish(es). Transfer the ground beef mixture to the pie dish(es) and spread out evenly over the cheese layer.
  • Cover the pie with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 15 minutes.
  • Take the pie out of the oven, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Notes

  1. Instead of bread crumbs you can use a slice of day-old bread (crust removed).
  2. The crescent dough creates a crust that is fluffy, and a little sweet. The sweetness of the dough creates a nice combination with the savory flavor of the meat and cheese.
  3. Use any type of melting cheese that has some flavor; like Gouda, cheddar, Alpine cheese.
  4. The crescent dough needs to cover the pie dish(es) and the left-overs can be used to create a lattice or any other type of top.
