Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Crust and Topping
- 1 pre-made refrigerated pie crust
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup diced tomato
- 1/4 cup chopped pickles (optional)
To Serve
- Ketchup
- Mustard
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F to prepare for baking the pie.
- Cook Beef and Onion: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef along with the finely chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion has softened. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Drain excess grease and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out the refrigerated pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides evenly.
- Mix Eggs and Milk: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
- Assemble Pie: Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly over the pie crust. Layer the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese on top, followed by diced tomato and chopped pickles if using.
- Add Egg Mixture: Pour the egg and milk mixture over the layered ingredients in the crust, making sure it is evenly distributed to bind the filling.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is a golden brown color.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with ketchup and mustard on the side if desired.
Notes
- Optionally, add sautéed mushrooms or green peppers to the beef mixture for extra flavor.
- This pie can be made ahead of time and reheated for a convenient weeknight dinner.
