The pie has three visible layers: a thick bottom crust that is golden brown and flaky, a dense middle layer of cooked ground beef with a rich brown color and a crumbly texture, and a top layer of melted cheddar cheese that is bright yellow and gooey, covered by a golden-brown, slightly crispy pastry crust that is puffed and shiny. The edges of the crust are ridged and the cheese layer glistens where it melts into the meat below. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Cooking spray or butter for greasing the pan

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain excess fat.
Step 3: Season the meat mixture with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce if using.
Step 4: Grease a 9-inch pie dish and spread the beef mixture evenly in the bottom.
Step 5: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef.
Step 6: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and flour until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the beef and cheese.
Step 7: Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden and the center is set.
Step 8: Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Tips & Variations

Prepare the meat filling ahead of time and refrigerate, then add the egg batter just before baking for a quicker assembly.
Freeze leftover slices wrapped well and reheat in the oven to maintain the best texture and flavor.
Add finely diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for extra nutrition and flavor.
Swap cheddar cheese with mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or a spicy cheese blend to change the flavor profile.
Enhance the beef layer with a dash of Dijon mustard or a spoonful of tomato paste for additional depth of flavor.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through. To freeze, cool completely, wrap slices well, and keep frozen for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven for best results.

How to Serve

A close-up view of a slice of meat pie sits on a white plate with a speckled finish, placed on a white marbled surface. The pie has two main layers: a bottom layer of finely ground cooked meat in brown tones and a top layer of golden-brown melted cheese with a slightly bubbly and crispy surface. The crust is thick, flaky, and golden around the edges, holding the filling tightly. In the blurred background, there are hints of fresh green salad leaves, adding a contrast of color.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of ground meat?

Yes, you can substitute ground turkey, chicken, or pork if preferred. Adjust seasoning as needed to suit the meat’s flavor.

Is it necessary to use flour in the egg mixture?

The flour helps set the egg mixture into a firm custard-like texture. Omitting it may result in a softer, less stable pie.
