Method
Filling Preparation
Cook the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, stirring frequently, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the Filling
Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add Cheese
Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the shredded cheese until melted and evenly distributed.
Crust Preparation
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and mix with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Water
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Assembly and Baking
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit your pie dish. Place the dough in the dish and trim the edges.
Fill the Crust
Spoon the beef filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
