Ground Beef Phyllo Pie

"Ground beef phyllo pie. Ground beef (or veal) layered in phyllo sheets softened with butter, then baked until golden. Much pie. Not much fuss. Ever since I learned to make pie rounds with store phyllo, that’s usually what I do when I’m making a quick one. Sometimes I line them up like cigars. (Unless I’m making the cheese pie.) So it occurred to me that we’ve never done a meat phyllo pie layered horizontally. Pita (pie), as you may know, is one of the first dishes you’ll encounter in the Balkans. How is it made? Well, first the thin dough is made (or in our case taken out of the box), it’s filled with different fillings (meat, cheese, vegetables), and baked. Every culture has a similar recipe for some type of flour+filling concoction."
