Spicy Beef and Cheese Pie:
List of ingredients:
Amount of Ingredients
Shredded cooked brisket, 1 pound.
Two jalapenos, chopped (take out the seeds for milder flavor)
Chopped onion.
Two cloves of minced garlic.
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/2 cup
1/4 cup of regular flour
1 1/2 cups of beef broth
Half a cup of heavy cream
2 teaspoons of dried thyme
Add half a teaspoon of salt.
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
Pie crusts 2 (made at home or bought at the store)
Directions:
Preheat the oven: Set the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the chopped onion and minced garlic in a big pan over medium heat until they are soft (around 3 minutes).
Put the chopped jalapenos in the pan and cook them for 2 more minutes to bring out their flavors.
Prepare the roux by mixing the all-purpose flour and cooking it for 1 minute. This will make the sauce thicker later on.
Mix the liquids: Slowly pour the beef broth and heavy cream into the pan while stirring continuously to prevent any lumps from forming.
Heat the mixture until it starts to bubble gently and cook until it becomes as thick as you like.
