Ingredients

Scale

Meat Mixture

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup diced pickles

Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk

Topping

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Serve With

  • Ketchup
  • Mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the pie and ensure even cooking.
  2. Cook Beef and Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef along with diced onions until the meat is browned and onions are softened. Stir frequently to break up the meat.
  3. Drain and Add Pickles: Drain any excess fat from the skillet to prevent greasiness. Stir in the diced pickles to combine their tangy flavor with the beef mixture.
  4. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper ensuring they are evenly mixed.
  5. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until smooth and well combined.
  6. Combine Batter: Pour the egg and milk mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms without lumps.
  7. Assemble Pie: Grease a pie dish to prevent sticking. Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly across the bottom of the dish.
  8. Add Batter: Pour the prepared batter over the beef mixture, spreading it out gently to cover all the meat.
  9. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the batter to create a delicious cheesy crust.
  10. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes after baking to set. Serve warm with ketchup and mustard on the side for dipping or topping.

Notes

  • Drain the meat well to reduce grease in the pie.
  • The diced pickles add a unique tang but can be omitted or replaced with relish if preferred.
  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with other favorite cheeses like mozzarella or Monterey Jack.
  • For a spicier variation, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the batter.
  • Let the pie rest after baking to make slicing easier and to prevent the filling from being too runny.
