Cheeseburger Pie
Cheeseburger Pie has a delicious savory filling made with ground beef, bacon, cheese, mushrooms, and onions under a buttery dumpling crust. Your family will love it!
Ingredients
4 ounces thin-sliced bacon (about 4–5 slices depending on brand)
1 large yellow onion, sliced into thick half inch slices (about 6 ounces)
6 ounces button mushrooms, sliced into thick slices
1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
1 1/2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
1 cup beef stock or broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon gravy color, such as Kitchen Bouquet
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Few shakes of your favorite hot sauce, we used Cholula
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon dry mustard
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons water
3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Dumplings
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 tablespoon cold butter cut into small pieces
1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup whole milk, plus more if needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F with rack in the center of the oven.
- Spray a baking dish that holds seven cups or larger: 8×8 or 9×9-inch ceramic round. (Our round baking dish held seven cups with the dumplings rising higher than the dish rim).
- Chop bacon into very small pieces by stacking the slices and cutting them into strips then into pieces. Place in a large high-sided skillet and cook over medium heat until crisp and fully rendered. Remove pieces with a slotted spoon to a dish covered in a paper towel. Pour out fat and return two tablespoons of the fat back into the skillet.
- Over medium high heat, cook the thick cut onion slices and the thickly sliced mushrooms for about four minutes or until the onions are starting to soften. Add garlic and cook for one minute.
- Add the ground beef and break it up while cooking. Cook until it is no longer pink. Pour off some of the rendered fat but leave a little in the pan. (If you forget and leave all the fat in, it will float to the top and you can remove it once baked)
- Add the beef stock, heavy cream, gravy color, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, pepper, ketchup, and dry mustard.
- Bring to a medium simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Mix the flour and water to form a thick slurry and stir into the hot mixture and cook for one more minute.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle on the shredded cheese and cooked bacon pieces.
- In a small bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, cold butter pieces and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Add cold milk and mix to form a slightly thick sticky dough. If the mixture is too dry, drizzle in a little more milk until no dry flour is left.
- Divide the dough into quarters and using a scoop to get a round shape, drop the four dough balls onto the top of the filling.
- Cover the top with a piece of parchment that will fit the baking dish and a piece of foil, shiny side down.
- Bake for 15 minutes, remove the cover, and bake for ten more minutes.
- Remove and let set up for ten minutes then serve.
