Southern Style Cheeseburger Pie – A Comfort Food Classic

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep
   Heat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cook the Beef
   In a skillet over medium heat, cook beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Add diced onion and cook until softened. Season with salt, pepper, and mustard (if using).

3. Mix the Batter
   In a bowl, whisk together milk, mayonnaise, flour, and eggs until smooth.

4. Assemble the Pie
   Spread beef mixture evenly in the pie crust. Pour milk mixture over the top.

5. Add Cheese
   Sprinkle shredded cheddar evenly over everything.

6. Bake
   Bake for 30–35 minutes, until set and golden.

7. Cool & Serve
   Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with a crisp green salad for balance.

• Add a side of baked beans for a true Southern spread.

• Drizzle with ketchup or hot sauce for extra flavor.

Tips for Success

• Don’t skip draining the beef — excess grease will make the pie soggy.

• Let it rest before slicing — this helps the filling set.

• Double the recipe — it freezes beautifully.

Storage

• Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

• Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
