Method
How to Make Cheeseburger Pie
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This step is crucial to ensure your Cheeseburger Pie cooks evenly and comes out deliciously golden brown.
- Cook the ground beef and onion. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion. Drain any excess fat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix the filling ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture, 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, milk, eggs, flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the mixture into a greased pie dish, ensuring it's evenly spread out.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, until it's set and the top is a lovely golden brown.
- Cool the pie slightly before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with chopped pickles, ketchup, and mustard if desired.
