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 Layer
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Batter
- 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’s ready for baking the pie.
- Cook Beef and Onion: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess fat to avoid greasiness.
- Season Meat Mixture: Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture, stirring well to combine all flavors evenly.
- Prepare Pie Dish: Grease a 9-inch pie dish using cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking. Spread the seasoned beef mixture evenly at the bottom of the dish.
- Add Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef layer ensuring complete coverage.
- Make Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and all-purpose flour until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Pour Batter Over Pie: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the beef and cheese layers in the pie dish, allowing it to seep through.
- Bake: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is fully set.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool slightly before slicing to help it hold its shape. Serve warm for the best taste experience.
Notes
- You can add diced pickles or ketchup on top to mimic classic cheeseburger flavors.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste if using Worcestershire sauce as it adds extra saltiness.
- Use sharp cheddar cheese for a more intense flavor.
- Let the pie rest for 5-10 minutes post-baking for easier slicing.
- This dish is suitable for serving with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
