Bacon Cheeseburger Pie
Sounds very good, a must try for me. Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust, uncooked, bought, OR make from a shortcut on this site
- 500 grams ground beef, I would not use ground pork for this
- 1 onion, diced
- 5 slices bacon, chopped
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
- 3 tablespoons BBQ sauce, OR make from a shortcut on this site
- 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup, OR make from a shortcut on this site
- 2 teaspoons Worcherstershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded, this is about 1 standard block of cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 205 C. Get out a 9 inch pie dish and get your crust placed in the dish.
- In a large non-stick skillet, brown the ground beef, onion, and bacon until cooked through. Drain this in a colander would be good to drain the best. Place in large bowl and stir in the bread crumbs, mustard, BBQ sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper, pour this mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- Using the same bowl, mix the cheese, milk, and egg (why dirty another bowl?) and spread this over the pie mixture. Cover the edges of the crust with foil (to prevent over cooking those) and bake for 15 minutes, remove the foil and bake for anther 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes and serve with a side of your choice, corn on the cob sounds excellent here or even just a dill pickle on the side.
Notes
The ground beef, or beef in general is costly. Depending on your location, you may be able to get ground beef and will pay top dollar for it. Getting large cuts of beef and grinding (or chopping) yourself is preferred and most cost effective. For ground beef, I will go with about 100 Baht/500 grams. The Cheddar cheese will run about 180 Baht for a 250 gram block. For 6 servings this about $1.37 per serving, less for 6 servings. Overall, not a bad cost.
Variants, keep in mind variants can add cost to the meal. Add sliced, cooked mushrooms to the top. Replace the Cheddar with Swiss Cheese.
