Pioneer Woman Cheeseburger Pie

Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion together until the meat is browned and the onions are soft.
2. Drain any excess fat.
3. Stir in ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
4. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

1. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the pie crust.
2. Sprinkle cheese generously on top of the beef.

Step 4: Prepare the Custard

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, mayonnaise (if using), salt, and pepper.
2. Pour the custard gently over the beef and cheese layer, making sure it spreads evenly.

Step 5: Bake the Pie

1. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden.
2. Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center—if it comes out clean, the pie is ready.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

1. Allow the pie to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps the custard set completely.
2. Serve warm with a side salad, baked fries, or your favorite dipping sauces.

Tips for Extra Flavor

• Cheese mix: Use a blend of sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack for a richer flavor.
• Veggie add-ins: Bell peppers, mushrooms, or diced tomatoes can be added to the beef layer for extra texture.
• Spicy kick: Add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the custard.
• Mini pies: Use a muffin tin to make individual cheeseburger pies for parties or lunchboxes.
