Ingredients

Scale

Meat 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

Custard Mixture

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Other

  • Cooking spray or butter for greasing the pan

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the pie evenly.
  2. Cook the 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 soft. Drain any excess fat to avoid a greasy pie.
  3. Season the Meat Mixture: Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce if desired to the browned beef mixture. Stir well to evenly distribute the flavors.
  4. Prepare the Pie Dish: Grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking. Spread the seasoned beef mixture evenly across the bottom.
  5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the layer of beef to create a cheesy, melty center.
  6. Make the Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and all-purpose flour until you get a smooth mixture with no lumps.
  7. Pour Custard Over Pie: Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the beef and cheese in the pie dish, allowing it to seep down and bind the layers.
  8. Bake the Pie: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the center is fully set.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing to help the filling firm up for clean slices.

Notes

  • You can add diced pickles or ketchup on top after baking for a classic cheeseburger flavor.
  • Substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese such as Monterey Jack or mozzarella for a different flavor.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour in the custard mixture.
  • Make sure to drain excess fat from the beef to avoid a greasy pie.
  • Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow it to set properly.
