Impossible Cheeseburger Pie!!!

May be an image of shepherd's pie, potpie and text that says 'PIONEER WOMAN CHEESEBURGER PIE Ingredients: 1 large onion, ion,ch chopped 1 pound ground beef 2/ teaspoon salt 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese'

Step 2: Prepare the Meat Mixture

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
  2. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent.
  3. Stir in the salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and mustard. Let this mixture simmer for 3–5 minutes so the flavors meld beautifully.
  4. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3: Layer the Pie

  1. Roll out your pie crust into a 9-inch (23 cm) pie pan, trimming the edges if necessary.
  2. Spread half of the cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom of the crust.
  3. Spoon the beef mixture on top, spreading it evenly.
  4. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and all the mozzarella on top of the beef layer.

Step 4: Make the Egg Mixture

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and evaporated milk until smooth.
  2. Carefully pour this mixture over the meat and cheese layers. This will create the custardy, “impossible” texture that makes the pie so unique.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

  1. Place the pie in the preheated oven.
  2. Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the egg mixture is set. You can test by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out clean.

Step 6: Cool Slightly and Serve

Let the pie cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps it hold its shape. Serve with optional toppings like pickles, fresh tomato, or a sprinkle of lettuce for that classic cheeseburger touch.
