Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre‑made pie crust (store‑bought or homemade)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: pickles, lettuce, diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil or butter, and sauté the diced onion until translucent and slightly caramelized, about 4‑5 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and brown completely, about 7‑8 minutes, draining excess fat if needed.
- Stir in the ketchup and mustard, mixing well to coat the meat.
- Lay the pre‑made pie crust into a 9‑inch pie dish and spoon the beef mixture evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the beef mixture.
- Bake for 25‑30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
- Allow the pie to rest for five minutes, then add optional toppings such as pickles, lettuce, or diced tomatoes before serving.
