The Scoop
A flaky crust is packed with saucy ground beef, crispy bacon, onion, and plenty of sharp cheddar, then baked until golden, bubbly, and gloriously cheesy.
It’s nostalgic comfort food with a little game-night energy, no bun required.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 5 slices bacon, chopped
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 3 tablespoons barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 prepared pie crust, uncooked, store-bought or homemade
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef, the onion, and the bacon until the bacon is crispy and the beef is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Drain the grease from the skillet.
- Remove the skillet from the stovetop.
- Add the breadcrumbs, the mustard, the barbecue sauce, the ketchup, the Worcestershire sauce, and the pepper.
- Place the prepared pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate and then place the beef mixture into the pie crust.
- Combine the cheese, the egg, and the milk in a small bowl.
- Spread the egg mixture over the meat mixture.
- Cover the pie crust edges with foil to prevent over-browning.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil.
- Bake uncovered until the pie crust is golden-brown and the cheese topping is bubbly and melty, about 15 minutes.
- Allow it to cool.
- Serve.
