The pie slice shows three distinct layers: the bottom layer is a crumbly, brown crust; above it is a thick layer of cooked ground meat mixed with small pieces of onion; the top layer is bright yellow with a smooth, baked egg mixture, topped with crispy reddish-brown bacon bits and green chopped herbs.

Ingredients

1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
6 slices bacon

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced
3 large eggs

3⁄4 cup milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
2 tablespoons ketchup

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper

1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels and chop.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add ground beef and diced onion. Cook until beef is browned and onion is softened. Stir in minced garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook for 1–2 more minutes, then drain excess fat.
Step 4: Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese on the bottom of the pie crust.

Step 5: Layer the cooked beef mixture and chopped bacon evenly over the cheese.
Step 6: In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until smooth. Pour over the beef and bacon in the pie crust.
Step 7: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.

Step 8: Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Step 9: Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, use smoked cheddar or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef mixture.

Swap the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
If you prefer a crispier crust, pre-bake the pie crust for 5–7 minutes before adding the filling.
Add diced pickles or serve with a side of pickles for that classic burger tang.

Storage

Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in a microwave or oven until warmed through, about 2 minutes in the microwave or 10 minutes at 350°F (175°C) in the oven. For best results, reheat uncovered in the oven to keep the crust crisp.

The pie has three visible layers: a browned, flaky crust around the edge; a thick middle layer of cooked ground meat mixed with onions, light brown and slightly chunky; and a top layer of bright yellow melted cheese with some green chopped herbs sprinkled on top. Small pieces of crispy bacon bits are scattered on the cheese. The background is softly blurred with hints of green and red colors. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a homemade pie crust instead of store-bought?

Absolutely! A homemade crust works wonderfully and adds a personal touch. Just ensure it’s rolled out to fit a 9-inch pie pan.

Can I prepare this pie in advance?

Yes, you can assemble the pie and refrigerate it uncovered for up to 24 hours before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
