In a heavy skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef until no longer pink. While cooking, season the meat with a little thyme, salt, and Worcestershire sauce. If adding carrots, add them at this time.
Remove from heat and stir in cheddar cheese, beaten egg, ketchup, seasonings, and the remaining 1/2 to 1 cup of stuffing mixture. If you don't have enough stuffing, that is okay, this is optional.
Spoon the mixture into the pie shell, garnish with sourdough breadcrumbs (optional) and bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until heated through.
If you prefer a crispier pie shell, bake the stuffing shell for 5 minutes before adding the filling.
You can substitute green onions with dried chives if fresh ones are unavailable.
Adding diced carrots provides extra texture and sweetness to the filling.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Can I freeze the pie?

What can I serve with this pie?
This pie pairs well with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Can I use ground turkey instead of ground beef?
