Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and 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
- Optional toppings: chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, pickles, ketchup, mustard
Instructions:
- Prepare the Oven and Pie Dish: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, ensuring to break it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned.
- Add Flavors: To the skillet, add the finely chopped onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook until the onion is soft and the beef is thoroughly cooked. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
- Assemble the Base: Transfer the beef and onion mixture to the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer.
- Prepare the Pie Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, flour, eggs, and baking powder until the mixture is smooth. Pour this batter over the beef and cheese layers in the pie dish.
- Bake: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes after removing it from the oven. This makes it easier to slice and serve.
- Add Toppings and Enjoy: Serve the Cheeseburger Pie slices with classic burger accompaniments like chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, pickles, ketchup, and mustard for a complete burger experience.
