Cheeseburger Pie

Recipe: Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Optional toppings: chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, pickles, ketchup, mustard

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
  3. Add the chopped onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent, and the beef is cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
  4. Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, flour, eggs, and baking powder until smooth. Pour the mixture over the beef and cheese in the pie dish.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  8. Serve slices of Cheeseburger Pie with your favorite burger toppings, such as chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, pickles, ketchup, and mustard.

Serving:

  1. Allow the Cheeseburger Pie to cool for a few minutes after baking before slicing and serving. This helps to set the filling and makes it easier to slice.
  2. Serve slices of the pie warm, accompanied by your favorite burger toppings such as chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Let each diner customize their slice according to their taste preferences.
  3. Cheeseburger Pie makes a hearty and satisfying main dish for lunch or dinner. Pair it with a side salad or some crispy French fries for a complete meal.
  4. Leftover slices of Cheeseburger Pie can also be enjoyed cold or at room temperature, making them perfect for packed lunches or picnics.

Storage:

  1. Store any leftover Cheeseburger Pie in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in aluminum foil.
  2. Refrigerate the leftover pie promptly and consume it within 3-4 days for the best taste and texture.
  3. To reheat leftover slices, place them on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
  4. Alternatively, individual slices can be reheated in the microwave on a microwave-safe plate for 1-2 minutes on high power, or until heated to your liking.
  5. Avoid freezing Cheeseburger Pie, as the texture of the filling may change upon thawing, and the crust may become soggy. It is best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated for short-term storage.

Variations:

  1. Bacon Cheeseburger Pie:
    • Add cooked and crumbled bacon to the ground beef mixture before baking for a smoky and indulgent twist on the classic Cheeseburger Pie.
  2. Mushroom Swiss Cheeseburger Pie:
    • Sauté sliced mushrooms with onions and garlic until tender, then layer them over the ground beef filling before adding the cheese. Use Swiss cheese instead of cheddar for a savory and earthy flavor combination.
  3. Tex-Mex Cheeseburger Pie:
    • Season the ground beef with taco seasoning and mix in canned black beans, corn kernels, and diced green chilies. Top the pie with shredded Mexican blend cheese and serve with salsa, sour cream, and sliced jalapeños for a Southwestern flair.
  4. Vegetarian Cheeseburger Pie:
    • Replace the ground beef with plant-based meat crumbles or cooked lentils for a vegetarian version of the pie. Add extra vegetables such as diced bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach to bulk up the filling and enhance its flavor.
  5. Buffalo Chicken Cheeseburger Pie:
    • Swap out the ground beef for shredded cooked chicken tossed in buffalo sauce. Layer the buffalo chicken over the pie crust, followed by shredded mozzarella cheese. Serve with a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing for a spicy and tangy kick.
