I re-designed this recipe (slightly) from one I had found in one of my mom's old recipe books. I was curious about the idea of fruit mixed with meat and, after researching various mincemeat recipes, some of which that called for chopped up cuts of beef, I decided to try using good old ground beef. To my surprise, I loved the flavor profile and texture combination of fruit, nuts, traditional spices, and meat, along with the other ingredients you'll find below in the recipe I developed below.
Notes: Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking! For example, I decreased the nutmeg from 1/4 t. to 1/8 t. and it was just as good. Although I generally make my own pie crusts from scratch, I used pre-made refrigerated pie crusts for the sake of time. They turn out great and create less of a mess. Also, do not allow your ground beef to overbrown. You want it nice and moist when you combine it with the rest of your ingredients in the pie shell.
