Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon mustard (optional)
- 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if preferred)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat and return the beef to the skillet. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook for another 2 minutes until the onion softens.

Transfer the filling into a prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the filling. Bake the pie for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. Allow the pie to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this cheeseburger pie with a side of mixed greens or a simple potato salad. It pairs beautifully with a cold glass of iced tea or a crisp beer. For an extra touch, top each slice with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh chives.
Storage and Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. To reheat, microwave individual slices for 1-2 minutes or warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use a blend of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
- If you prefer a more rustic crust, consider using a homemade pie crust for a buttery, flakier texture.
- This dish is best served warm, but it also makes a great lunch or dinner the next day.
