1

Put the ground beef in a large pot and add enough water to cover it. Boil until the beef is cooked through. Drain.
2

Add water to cover the cooked beef, then add the onions and enough bouillon granules to taste. Cook until the onions are soft. Season with salt and pepper to your taste, and ensure there is enough bouillon for a good beef flavor.
3

Mix the 1/4 cup water with the cornstarch and stir until smooth. Add this to the beef mixture and cook until the mixture thickens. Let it cool to room temperature.
4

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5

Roll out the pastry to fit a 9-inch pie plate.
6

Spoon the beef mixture into the pastry crust and cover the top with another layer of pastry. Crimp the edges and prick the top.

Bake in the preheated oven until the pie crust is lightly browned, about 40 minutes.
