Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 14 1/2 -ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pound ground beef chuck
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped pimiento-stuffed olives
  • 1 piece refrigerated pie dough (half of a 14-ounce package)

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Heat the vegetable oil in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly browned and just tender, about 6 minutes. Add the tomatoes, cumin and cinnamon and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the beef to the other side; season the beef with salt and pepper. Increase the heat to high and cook, stirring the ingredients together, until the beef is no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Stir in the raisins and olives and remove from the heat.

Unroll the pie crust and center it over the filling; press the edge against the inside of the skillet using a fork. Transfer to the oven and bake until the crust is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
