Southern Style Cheeseburger Pie!!!

2. Cook the Beef Filling

1. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion until soft and translucent.
2. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
3. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink.
4. Stir in smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, chili powder, tomato paste or ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 2–3 minutes to blend flavors.
5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3. Assemble the Pie

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer it carefully into the dish, trimming excess edges.
3. Layer half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on the bottom of the crust.
4. Spoon the cooked beef mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
5. Sprinkle pickles on top if using.
6. Beat the eggs with milk, then pour gently over the beef layer. This will set like a custard and hold everything together.
7. Top with the remaining cheese.

4. Bake the Pie

1. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
2. Allow the pie to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps the layers set for clean slices.

5. Serve and Enjoy

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your favorite Southern sides: mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or a crisp green salad. Each bite combines the juicy flavors of a cheeseburger with a flaky, buttery crust—a true Southern delight!

Tips for the Perfect Cheeseburger Pie

• Cheese mix: Using a blend of cheddar and mozzarella gives the pie both flavor and meltiness. You can also add pepper jack for a little heat.
• Crust shortcut: For convenience, store-bought pie crusts work well and save time.
• Extra flavor: A sprinkle of smoked paprika on top before baking adds a subtle smoky aroma.
• Make ahead: Assemble the pie up to 24 hours in advance, cover, and refrigerate. Bake when ready to serve.
