Southern Style Cheeseburger Pie

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp mustard (optional, for a tangy bite)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • pre-made pie crust (or homemade, if preferred)

Optional Additions

  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder or smoked paprika for depth
  • A handful of diced pickles or jalapeños for tang/spice
  • 1 tbsp ketchup or BBQ sauce mixed into the beef
  • Swap cheddar with pepper jack for extra heat
  • Add 1/2 cup of cooked bacon bits for a bacon cheeseburger twist

Tips for Success

  • Drain the beef well after browning to avoid soggy crust.
  • Precook the pie crust for 5–7 minutes to keep it crisp.
  • Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and baking consistency.
  • Let it rest for 5–10 minutes after baking for clean slices and best flavor.
  • Use a glass or ceramic pie dish for even browning and presentation.
