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
- 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.
