Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound ground beef: Lean ground beef is best for a balanced mix of flavor and texture.
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise: Adds richness and creaminess to the filling.
- 1/2 cup milk: Helps to smooth out the filling mixture.
- 2 large eggs: Provides structure and helps bind the ingredients together.
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour: Thickens the filling and helps it set.
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese: For a sharp, tangy flavor.
- 3/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese: Adds a nutty, creamy element to the pie.
- 1/3 cup finely chopped green onion: Gives a subtle oniony bite and freshness.
- Salt and pepper to taste: Essential for seasoning the filling.
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), preparing it for baking the pie to perfection.
-
Brown the Meat: In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned and fully cooked. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Break the meat into small crumbles as it cooks. Once done, drain any excess fat and set the meat aside.
-
Prepare the Filling Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, milk, eggs, and flour. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
-
Mix in the Ingredients: Add the cooked ground beef to the mixture, followed by the shredded cheddar and Swiss cheeses, finely chopped green onion, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir everything together until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Assemble the Pie: Pour the meat and cheese mixture into an unbaked pie shell. Spread it out evenly to ensure a consistent filling.
-
Bake the Pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The pie is done when the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the filling to set and make for easier serving.
-
Storage Tips: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This pie also freezes well, so feel free to make it ahead of time and enjoy it later!
