Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (plus more for topping)
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 unbaked 9-inch deep-dish pie crust
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F.
2. Cook Beef Mixture: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened.
3. Season the Filling: Stir in the ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper, and half of the crumbled bacon. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
4. Prepare the Pie Crust: Place the unbaked pie crust in a deep-dish pie pan. Spoon the beef mixture evenly into the crust.
5. Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the beef filling.
6. Make the Custard Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and flour until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the pie filling.
7. Bake to Perfection: Place the pie in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the crust is golden brown.
8. Finish and Serve: Let the Bacon Cheeseburger Pie cool slightly before slicing. Sprinkle the remaining crumbled bacon over the top and serve warm, savoring every delicious bite.
Notes
To ensure your Bacon Cheeseburger Pie turns out perfectly every time, follow these helpful tips and tricks:
Brown the Beef Thoroughly: Take the time to brown the ground beef until it’s nicely cooked through and any excess moisture has evaporated. This will prevent a soggy filling.
Achieve a Flaky Crust: For a tender, flaky pie crust, be sure to use a deep-dish pie pan and an unbaked crust. This will allow the crust to bake up beautifully without becoming too dense.
Let It Cool Slightly: Resist the temptation to dive in right away! Allowing the Bacon Cheeseburger Pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing will help the filling set and make for cleaner, more presentable slices.
Reheat Leftovers Perfectly: Store any leftover Bacon Cheeseburger Pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. When ready to enjoy, simply reheat individual slices in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
