Cheeseburger Pie Savory Comfort (Print)

Savory pie filled with seasoned beef, cheddar, and golden biscuit-style topping for an easy family meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Meat & Dairy

01 - 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend preferred)
02 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
03 - 1/2 cup whole milk
04 - 2 large eggs

→ Vegetables

05 - 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
06 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

→ Pantry

07 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
08 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
10 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
11 - 1 tablespoon ketchup
12 - 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
13 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

# How to Cook:

01 - Set oven temperature to 375°F. Position rack in the center.
02 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
03 - Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until beef is browned and cooked through, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat from the pan.
04 - Incorporate ketchup, yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat and allow mixture to cool slightly.
05 - Grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or oil. Evenly spread cooled beef mixture into the dish. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the beef in a uniform layer.
06 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, all-purpose flour, and baking powder until a smooth batter forms.
07 - Pour batter gently over beef and cheese, covering filling completely. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is just set.
08 - Allow pie to rest for 5 minutes after baking. Slice and serve while warm.
