  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp salted butter, melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onions until softened.
  3. Add ground beef, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked through. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and let absorb. Remove from heat.
  4. Spread the beef mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter. Stir in flour and baking powder until smooth.

  7. Bake for 25 minutes, until the topping is golden and set.
  8. Cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Add mushrooms for an earthy twist.
  • Use pepper jack cheese and spices for a Southwest version.
  • Substitute beef with plant-based meat or lentils for a vegetarian option.
  • Top with sliced pickles for a true cheeseburger vibe.
  • Freeze cooled pie for up to 2 months; thaw overnight before reheating.
