Ah, Cheeseburger Pie—basically all the flavors of a classic cheeseburger in a hearty, cheesy, baked pie 🍔🧀. It’s comfort food made simple. Here’s a solid home-friendly recipe:
Ingredients (serves 4–6)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup diced pickles (optional)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or American cheese)
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup mustard (yellow or Dijon)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 pre-made pie crust (or biscuit dough for topping)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Optional: lettuce, tomato, or extra cheese for topping after baking
Method
- Preheat oven
- 375°F (190°C)
- Cook the beef
- In a skillet, cook ground beef and onion until beef is browned and onions are soft.
- Drain excess fat and season with salt and pepper.
- Mix filling
- In a bowl, combine cooked beef mixture with pickles, ketchup, mustard, and half the cheese.
- Assemble the pie
- Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
- Pour in the beef mixture.
- Whisk eggs and milk together and pour evenly over the filling.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
- Bake
- 25–30 minutes until the egg mixture is set and top is golden.
- Serve
- Slice like a pie and enjoy warm. Optional: top with lettuce, tomato, or extra pickles for that true cheeseburger feel.
Tips for Best Results
- Cheese: Use a mix of cheddar and mozzarella for gooey meltiness.
- Bacon bonus: Crisp some bacon and sprinkle on top before baking for extra flavor.
- Vegetable add-ins: Bell peppers or mushrooms pair well.
- Shortcut: Use biscuit dough as a “top crust” for a rustic, hand-pie vibe.
