Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust – The perfect flaky base for this dish.
- 500 g (1 lb) ground beef – The heart of the dish, seasoned for maximum flavor.
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled – Adds a smoky, crispy bite.
- 1 small onion, finely chopped – For a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced – Enhances the overall taste.
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce – Brings out the rich, umami flavor.
- ½ tsp salt – To season the meat perfectly.
- ½ tsp black pepper – For a little kick.
- 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar cheese – Melts beautifully into the pie.
- 2 large eggs – Helps bind everything together.
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk – Creates a creamy, custard-like filling.
- 1 tbsp mustard (optional) – Adds a tangy kick reminiscent of a classic cheeseburger.
- 1 tbsp ketchup – Balances the flavors with a hint of sweetness.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven & Prepare the Pie Crust
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork and prebake for 5 minutes to prevent sogginess.
Step 2: Cook the Beef and Bacon
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove, drain on paper towels, and crumble.
- In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and garlic in the bacon grease for 2 minutes.
- Add the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned, then drain excess grease.
Step 3: Assemble the Pie
- Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly over the pie crust.
- Sprinkle crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Step 4: Make the Custard Mixture
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, mustard, and ketchup.
- Pour this mixture over the beef and cheese, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Step 5: Bake the Pie
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Step 6: Let It Cool & Serve
Let the pie sit for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with a side of pickles, lettuce, and tomato for that full cheeseburger experience!
