Ingredients
Scale
- 1 deep dish pie crust (pre-baked or raw)
- 1 lb ground beef (lean)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare your deep pie dish by lightly spraying or buttering it.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the ground beef with onions and bell peppers until browned. Drain excess fat and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
