Servings: persons

1 pastry for double-crust pie or 2 ready-made pie crusts
1 1/2 lbs ground beef or 1 1/2 lbs ground lamb
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup oats (not quick cooking)
1 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt
1/2 cup beef broth or 1 beef bouillon cube
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
1/8 cup butter

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0 F and put a kettle of water on to boil.
2
Place one pie crust in a deep-style pie pan. Prick crust with a fork several times and bake for 5-10 minutes.
3
In a large skillet with deep sides, saute ground beef/lamb with onions. Season well with Lawry's, salt and pepper.
4
Mix well to combine.
5
When beef loses its pink color, stir in oats and beef broth or bullion cube. Then cover mixture entirely with boiling water. Simmer mixture for 10-15 minutes until water is mostly gone. Then stir in Worcestershire Sauce, dry mustard and spices.
6
Spoon the mixture into the partially baked pie crust and dot the top of the filling with diced butter. Place top crust on filling, crimp sides, vent crust, and bake for 1 to 1-1/4 hours. Make sure crust is slightly browned.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
