For the Filling:

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 bell pepper, diced (optional)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup potatoes, finely diced or shredded (optional)
• ½ cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste or ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently to fit the dish. Set aside.
2. Cook the Ground Beef Filling:
   • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.
   • Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
   • Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix well to combine.
   • Add the diced or shredded potatoes (if using) and cook for another 5 minutes until tender.
   • Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool slightly. Mix in the sour cream.
3. Assemble the Pie:
   • Spoon the beef mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
   • Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
4. Bake:
   • Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Serve:
   • Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing.
   • Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions and serve warm.

This hearty and cheesy ground beef pie is perfect for cozy dinners, and it pairs well with a fresh side salad or steamed vegetables. Enjoy!
