Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1 cup cheese, shredded
- 1 cup milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and chopped onions together. Break up the beef with a wooden spoon while cooking to ensure even crumbling.
- Drain any excess fat from the beef and onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the cooked beef mixture to the prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the beef layer, creating a consistent cheese coverage.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Gradually add the flour, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
- Pour the egg and flour mixture over the beef and cheese layers, ensuring it covers the entire surface of the pie dish.
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the pie to set and makes cutting easier.
- Slice into wedges and serve hot. Optional: Garnish with chopped parsley or additional shredded cheese if desired.
Tips
- For extra flavor, try using a blend of cheeses like cheddar and monterey jack.
- Make sure to drain the beef thoroughly to prevent a soggy pie bottom.
- Use room temperature eggs and milk for a smoother batter consistency.
- Let the pie rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to help it set and make slicing easier.
- For a crispy top, you can sprinkle some additional cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Experiment with adding diced bell peppers or jalapeños to the beef mixture for extra kick.
- Serve with a side of fresh salad or crispy pickles to complement the rich flavors of the pie.
