Description
A handheld dish combining juicy ground beef, melty cheese, and crispy onions in a flaky pie crust. Baked to golden perfection, it offers burger flavors in every bite. A quick, easy, and satisfying American comfort recipe for 8.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (Halal 80/20 blend)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 refrigerated 8-inch pie crusts
2 large eggs, whisked
2 medium onions, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
Unroll frozen pie crusts onto parchment-lined pans.
Brown ground beef in a skillet, add onions and garlic; cook 5 minutes on medium-low.
Spoon beef mixture into the bottom crust, top with half the cheese.
Whisk eggs with salt and pepper, brush onto the top crust.
Place the second crust over the filling, press edges to seal, and cut vents.
Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes or until golden. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Bake on the lowest oven rack for a golden bottom.
Use whisked eggs as an egg wash for a glossy crust.
Let the pie rest to prevent cheese from slumping.
Freeze unbaked pies for later use (extend bake time by 10 minutes).
