1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
Optional toppings: chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, pickles, ketchup, mustard
Instructions:
Preheat and Prep:
Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
Cook the Beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Break it apart with a spoon to ensure it cooks evenly.
Add the finely chopped onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook until the onion is soft and the beef is thoroughly cooked. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
Assemble the Pie:
Transfer the beef and onion mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out to form an even layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the cooked beef.
Prepare the Pie Filling:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, flour, eggs, and baking powder until the mixture is smooth.
Pour this liquid mixture over the beef and cheese layers in the pie dish.
Bake:
Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing. This helps the filling set and makes slicing easier.
Serve warm slices of Cheeseburger Pie with optional toppings like chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, pickles, ketchup, and mustard, allowing each person to customize their slice to their liking.

For a complete meal, pair the pie with a crisp side salad or some crispy French fries.
