Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (can substitute with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped vegetables (such as bell peppers and onions; mushrooms or zucchini can be used as alternatives)
- To taste seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder, and optional spices like paprika or chili powder)
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to the temperature recommended on your pie crust packaging, usually around 375°F (190°C), to prepare for baking the pie.
- Brown the beef: In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned and no longer pink, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.
- Add vegetables and seasonings: Stir the chopped vegetables into the skillet with the beef. Season the mixture generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any additional preferred spices to build flavor. Cook for a few more minutes until vegetables soften.
- Melt the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese into the skillet and stir continuously until the cheese melts and combines with the beef and veggies, heating the filling through completely.
- Transfer filling to pie crust: Pour the cheesy beef and vegetable mixture into the prepared pie crust. Spread it evenly to distribute the filling.
- Bake the pie: Place the skillet or pie dish in the preheated oven and bake according to the pie crust instructions, typically about 25-30 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool and serve: Allow the pie to cool slightly outside the oven for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling set for easier serving.
Notes
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken to reduce fat content.
- Feel free to add your favorite seasonings or spices to customize the flavor profile.
- Use fresh or frozen vegetables based on availability.
- Make sure to use an oven-safe skillet if baking the filling directly in it.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for up to 3 days.
