Ingredients
Scale
Main 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
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the pie.
- Cook the beef and onions: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onions are softened. Drain any excess fat from the mixture.
- Season the meat: Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce if using, stirring to combine well and enhance the flavors.
- Prepare the pie dish: Grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking, then spread the cooked beef mixture evenly across the bottom.
- Add cheese layer: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef layer to create a cheesy middle layer.
- Make the egg mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and flour until smooth and combined.
- Pour egg topping: Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the beef and cheese layers in the pie dish.
- Bake the pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Cool and serve: Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing into portions and serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use whole milk or add a splash of cream to the egg mixture.
- Worcestershire sauce adds depth but can be omitted for a milder taste.
- You can swap cheddar for your favorite cheese, such as mozzarella or pepper jack, for variety.
- Ensure the pie sets fully by baking until the center is firm to the touch.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
