For a deeper, richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef in a skillet before mixing it with the other filling ingredients. Feel free to adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to suit your spice preference. If you don't have Maggi seasoning, you can substitute with a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce for a similar umami flavor. For a vegetarian option, replace the ground beef with a plant-based ground meat substitute or a mixture of sautéed vegetables and legumes. Ensure the pie crust is cold before rolling it out to prevent it from becoming sticky and difficult to handle.
