Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 2 Large yellow onions
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 200 grams Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 Eggs
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 Prepared pie crust
- 50 grams Pickles (optional, chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Roll out the prepared pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess overhang and set aside.
Peel and slice the onions into thin rings. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the onions until soft and golden, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir well to combine, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Spread a thin layer of ketchup and mustard over the bottom of the pie crust. Layer half the sautéed onions on top.
Scatter half the shredded cheddar cheese over the onions, followed by the cooked beef. Add chopped pickles here if you’re using them, then layer the remaining onions and cheese on top.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the pie filling, ensuring it seeps down into the layers.
Place the pie into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with a side salad or fries for a full cheeseburger-inspired meal.
