Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Cooking spray or butter for greasing the pan

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain excess fat.
Step 3: Season the meat mixture with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce if using.
Step 4: Grease a 9-inch pie dish and spread the beef mixture evenly in the bottom.
Step 5: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef.
Step 6: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and flour until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the beef and cheese.
Step 7: Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden and the center is set.
Step 8: Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add diced pickles or a splash of ketchup into the beef mixture before baking.
Use a blend of cheddar and mozzarella cheese for a gooier texture.
Try adding a handful of chopped bell peppers or mushrooms to the beef for added veggies.
If you don’t have Worcestershire sauce, a little soy sauce or balsamic vinegar can provide a similar depth of flavor.

Storage

Store any leftover cheeseburger pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving to keep the texture intact.
