Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, and green beans)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 packet (approximately 8.5 ounces) Cornbread mix
- 0.75 cup Milk (for cornbread mix)
- 1 large Egg (for cornbread mix)
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil or butter (for greasing pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or casserole dish with vegetable oil or butter and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and chili powder. Let simmer for 5 minutes to thicken the mixture slightly.
Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir to combine. Let cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove the skillet from heat.
Pour the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish or casserole dish.
Prepare the cornbread topping by following the instructions on the cornbread mix package. Typically, this involves combining the cornbread mix with milk and an egg. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
Optional: Stir shredded cheddar cheese into the cornbread batter for an extra cheesy topping.
Carefully spread the cornbread batter over the beef mixture in the pie dish, ensuring it covers the top evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cornbread topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the hamburger pie cool for 5 minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy!
