The crust is pressed into a pan and cooked until golden brown and crispy.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

3. Add the diced onion, carrots, and potatoes to the skillet and cook until the vegetables are tender.

4. In a small bowl, mix together the beef broth, flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Pour the mixture over the meat and vegetables in the skillet.

5. Roll out the pie crust dough to fit a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish. Place the dough in the pie dish and fill with the meat and vegetable mixture.

6. Roll out the remaining dough to fit the top of the pie and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

7. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
