Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Cheese
- 1 lb Ground Beef (substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option)
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
Vegetables and Seasonings
- 1 cup chopped Vegetables (such as bell peppers and onions, or mushrooms and zucchini)
- Salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
- Garlic Powder, to taste
Pie Crust
- 1 Pie Crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on your pie crust package or recipe instructions to ensure proper baking.
- Brown Ground Beef: In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks for even texture.
- Add Vegetables and Seasonings: Add the chopped vegetables to the skillet with the browned beef. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine and cook until the vegetables soften slightly.
- Mix in Cheese: Stir shredded cheddar cheese into the beef and vegetable mixture until the cheese melts and the filling is heated through, creating a rich and creamy texture.
- Assemble Pie: Transfer the beef mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust in the skillet or a separate pie dish, spreading it out flat to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake the Pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake according to the pie crust instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until the crust is golden and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly to set before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner variation.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables; mushrooms, zucchini, or even corn work well.
- If using homemade pie crust, adjust baking time according to your crust recipe.
- Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
