Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Custard Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Other
- Cooking spray or butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the cheeseburger pie.
- Cook Beef and Onion: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion together until the beef is fully browned and the onions are soft. Drain any excess fat to prevent greasiness.
- Season Meat Mixture: Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce (if using) to the meat and onion mixture, stirring well to blend all the flavors evenly.
- Prepare Pie Dish: Grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking. Spread the seasoned beef mixture evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- Add Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef layer to ensure each slice gets a cheesy punch.
- Make Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and all-purpose flour until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
- Pour Custard over Pie: Carefully pour the custard mixture evenly over the beef and cheese layers in the pie dish.
- Bake: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is fully set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool slightly after baking to let it firm up for cleaner slices. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add diced pickles or mustard inside the beef layer before baking.
- Ensure you drain the beef well to avoid a soggy pie.
- You can substitute cheddar with other cheese varieties like Monterey Jack or mozzarella for different tastes.
- This pie can be served with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
