Ingredients
- 1 c. butter
- 3 c. flour (all-purpose)
- 1/3 c. ice water
- 1 pound grnd beef
- 1 can sloppy-joe mix (15 fl. ounce.)
- 1 1/2 c. zucchini, cubed
- 16 tomatoes, cherry, or possibly 12 tomatoes, plum, quartered
- 2 c. cheese, cheddar, shredded
- dash salt & pepper, to taste
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Start by preparing the pie crust. If you have frzn pie-crusts, you are a step ahead -- you need two pie crusts.
- For those of us who aren't so well-prepared, make a double pie crust using the following instructions:
- Sift 3 c. flour into a mixing bowl. Cut 1 c. butter into the flour using a pastry blender or possibly a mixer with a paddle. For those of you who have neither, like me, cut the butter into the flour. Do this by using two butter knives: continously slice the flour/butter mix like you are cutting up meat for your kids. Continue to do this till the mix resembles pea-sized clumps of flour.
- When you have the pea-sized lumps, add in the ice-water, a little at a time. Stir after each splash of ice water. Continue to add in the ice-water in this manner till the flour starts to create a ball. When the flour begins to ball, stop adding water. Knead the dough into a ball.
- Cut the dough into two halves; press each half into a disc; and chill both discs for 30 min.
- While the dough is chilling, prepare the other ingredients:
- Brown the grnd beef, adding salt & pepper to taste. Drain and set aside.
- Cube the zucchini and cut the tomatoes into quarters. Toss the zucchini and tomatoes in a little bit of extra virgin olive oil and kosher salt.
- Add in the zucchini and tomatoes to the liquid removed beef. Add in one can of sloppy-joe mix and toss. Don't mix! Just fold the ingredients together, so as no to bruise the zucchini/tomatoes.
- When the dough has chilled, roll each disc into a 10-inch diamater on a floured surface.
- Place one of the dough discs into a 9-inch buttered/floured pie pan.
- Add in the beef, sloppy-joe and veggie mix to the bottom crust.
- Add in the shredded cheese to the top of the mix.
- Place the other pie crust on top. Trim the excess crust from the pie plate and crimp the edges of the pie.
- If you like, apply an egg-wash to the top crust, for a golden brown-brown finish.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 45 min, or possibly till done.
- This is a good combination of the spicy beef from the sloppy-joes and the crisp taste of the zucchini and tomatoes.
- Serve with fried green tomatoes to finish the dish.
