Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box refrigerated pie crusts (2 count)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1.5 pounds ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 0.5 cup ketchup
  • 0.5 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 0.25 cup finely chopped dill pickles
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. Place one pie crust into the bottom of the prepared pie plate. Trim the edges if necessary.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  5. Stir in the salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, ketchup, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese and all of the chopped dill pickles.
  7. Spoon the beef mixture evenly into the bottom pie crust. Sprinkle the remaining half cup of cheddar cheese over the filling.
  8. Place the second pie crust over the filling. Crimp the edges of the top and bottom crusts together to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  9. Brush the top crust lightly with the beaten egg wash.
  10. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  11. Let the cheeseburger pie cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a pub style cheeseburger pie flavor, add 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the beef mixture.
  • You can make this a make ahead savory pie by assembling the entire pie, covering it, and refrigerating it for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
  • Serve slices with extra pickles or a side of your favorite burger sauce for dipping.
