Description
A warm, cheesy pie filled with savory beef, onions, and a buttery crust—a perfect weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 680 g (1.5 lb) lean ground beef (80/20 or 85/15)
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (about 150 g)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (6 g)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (15 ml)
- 2 tbsp ketchup (30 ml)
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard (15 ml)
- 200 g (2 cups) sharp cheddar, grated
- 120 g (1 cup) Monterey Jack or mozzarella, grated
- 3 large eggs (about 155 g)
- 240 ml (1 cup) whole milk
- 2 tbsp chopped dill pickles or pickle relish (optional)
- 1 tbsp chopped chives or 2 tbsp chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Fit the unbaked crust into the pan and dock the bottom with a fork. Line with parchment and fill with weights or beans. Bake for 12 minutes, remove weights, and bake 4 more minutes until set.
- Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until well-browned, about 6–8 minutes.
- Lower heat to medium, add the chopped onion, and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper; cook for 1 minute.
- Turn off heat and let the mixture cool for 3 minutes. Spread evenly in the par-baked crust and top with cheeses.
- Whisk eggs and milk together, season with salt and pepper, and pour over the beef and cheese mixture.
- Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 30–35 minutes until golden brown and the center is just set. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free pie crust. You can also substitute beef with lentils and mushrooms for a vegetarian option.
