Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Topping

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

Other

  • Cooking spray or butter for greasing the pie dish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish thoroughly with butter or nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and help with even browning.
  2. Cook the beef and onion: In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion until the meat is fully cooked through and no longer pink, and the onion has softened and become translucent. Drain any excess fat to avoid a greasy pie.
  3. Season the filling: Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and the optional Worcestershire sauce to the beef and onion mixture. Stir well to distribute the seasoning evenly for a rich, flavorful base.
  4. Assemble the base layer: Spread the seasoned beef mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the beef layer to add creamy sharpness.
  5. Prepare the topping batter: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and all-purpose flour until the mixture is smooth and uniform. This batter will create a light, cake-like topping that complements the savory filling.
  6. Pour the batter over the pie: Carefully pour the egg batter evenly over the layered meat and cheese in the pie dish, covering the filling completely.
  7. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the topping is golden brown and set in the middle. The pie should feel firm to the touch when done.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the pie to rest for 5 to 10 minutes after removing from the oven. This resting period helps the layers solidify for cleaner slices and easier serving. Cut into wedges and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • You can omit Worcestershire sauce for a milder flavor or for dietary preferences.
  • For extra flavor, add diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the beef mixture during cooking.
  • Use sharp cheddar cheese for a more pronounced cheese flavor.
  • Ensure the pie dish is greased well to prevent sticking and make slicing easier.
  • Letting the pie rest after baking is essential for clean slices.
