Pioneer Woman Cheeseburger Pie Recipe – Easy Comfort Food


Description

There’s something truly magical about combining two beloved comfort foods into one delicious dish. The Pioneer Woman Cheeseburger Pie does just that, marrying the savory goodness of a cheeseburger with the ease and simplicity of a pie. This recipe holds a special place in my heart, reminiscent of cozy family dinners and the joy of sharing a meal with loved ones.


Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

Step 2: Brown the Ground Beef

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until evenly browned.

Step 3: Add Aromatics and Seasonings

Add the chopped onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the onion softens and becomes translucent, usually for about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease to prevent the pie from being too oily.

Step 4: Layer the Beef

Transfer the beef mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly to form the base.

Step 5: Add the Cheese

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef layer. The cheese will melt into the beef, adding richness and flavor.

Step 6: Prepare the Batter

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, flour, eggs, and baking powder until smooth. This will form the “crust” that binds everything together.

Step 7: Pour the Batter

Pour the batter over the beef and cheese layers, ensuring it covers the entire surface.

Step 8: Bake the Pie

Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh onions and high-quality ground beef elevate the flavors of the pie.
  • Cheese Varieties: Try using a mix of cheddar and mozzarella for a different texture and flavor.
  • Customize the Pie: Add sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers to give the pie additional texture and taste.
