- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Crust and Dry Ingredients:
- 1 unbaked pie crust (9-inch)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles until fully cooked and no pink remains.
- Drain any excess fat from the beef and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, stirring to distribute the spices evenly.
- Spread the seasoned ground beef across the bottom of the prepared pie crust, creating an even layer.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef, covering the entire surface.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until thoroughly combined.
- Stir in the sour cream to the egg mixture, creating a smooth, creamy base.
- Gradually mix in the flour, whisking until the batter is free of lumps and has a consistent texture.
- Carefully pour the egg and flour mixture over the cheese and beef, ensuring it covers the entire pie evenly.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and create a lighter, healthier dish.
- Customize the seasoning blend by adding smoked paprika or dried herbs for extra flavor complexity.
- Consider using a gluten-free pie crust and almond flour to make the recipe suitable for gluten-sensitive individuals.
- Prep ingredients in advance and store the assembled pie in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking for convenient meal planning.
