Ingredients

Scale

Pie Base

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Meat and Vegetables

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Egg Mixture

  • 3 large eggs
  • 3⁄4 cup milk

Cheese and Seasoning

  • 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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the pie.
  2. Cook Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crisp. Drain the cooked bacon on paper towels to remove excess fat, then chop into small pieces.
  3. Cook Beef and Aromatics: Using the same skillet, add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion becomes soft. Stir in the minced garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes, then drain any excess fat from the mixture.
  4. Assemble Pie Base: Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom of the unbaked pie crust.
  5. Add Beef and Bacon Layer: Distribute the cooked beef mixture evenly over the cheese layer. Sprinkle the chopped bacon over the beef layer to cover it evenly.
  6. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  7. Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the egg and milk mixture over the layered beef and bacon inside the pie crust, allowing it to fill all spaces evenly.
  8. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the pie filling.
  9. Bake the Pie: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
  10. Rest and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This resting time helps the filling to set further for easier serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain excess fat from the beef mixture to prevent the pie from becoming greasy.
  • Use a sharp knife to dice onions and mince garlic for better texture and flavor release.
  • Allowing the pie to rest after baking ensures cleaner slices and creamier filling consistency.
  • Feel free to substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese like Monterey Jack or Colby for a different flavor profile.
  • The ketchup and Worcestershire sauce add a tangy, umami-rich taste reminiscent of classic cheeseburgers.
