Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 large Vidalia onion
- 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Dice the Vidalia onion, then sauté in the skillet for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onions and cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in ketchup, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well, then remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges as needed. Pre-bake the crust for 5 minutes to give it a head start.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
Layer half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust.
Add the ground beef and onion mixture on top of the cheese, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.
Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the top, ensuring it distributes through the pie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pie is set and golden brown on top.
Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
