Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup milk
3 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon mustard (optional)
1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if preferred)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until fully browned, about 8 minutes.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
- Drain any excess fat from the beef mixture.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and mustard (if using).
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the beef and vegetables. Stir well to combine.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and incorporated.
- Pour the beef and cheese mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
- Let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
This pie is best served warm and can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days before baking. If you prefer a lighter version, substitute half-and-half or Greek yogurt for the milk. For a more indulgent twist, add a layer of cooked bacon or sautéed mushrooms to the filling.
Serving Suggestion
Serve this cheeseburger pie with a side of fresh green salad or roasted vegetables. It pairs wonderfully with a cold glass of iced tea or a light beer.
