Recipe Instructions:
- In a frying pan, brown the ground chuck along with diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped green pepper until they achieve a rich, golden brown color. Ensure the meat is thoroughly cooked and the vegetables are tender.
- Once cooked, drain any excess grease from the pan to ensure the pie remains flavorful without being overly greasy.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, green beans, and mushroom pieces into the beef mixture, combining all the ingredients evenly to create a savory filling.
- Take an ungreased pie pan, preferably a deep dish, and lay out the crescent rolls to form the crust. Gently press the rolls together to ensure they cover the bottom and sides of the pan adequately, forming a sturdy base for the pie.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in one cup of the shredded cheese until well combined. This cheesy egg mixture will add richness and depth of flavor to the pie.
- Pour the cheesy egg mixture over the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly to create a creamy layer that will bind the ingredients together.
- Next, add the beef and vegetable mixture on top of the cheesy layer, spreading it out evenly to ensure every bite is filled with deliciousness.
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the beef mixture, adding an extra layer of cheesy goodness that will melt beautifully in the oven.
- To add a pop of color and flavor, sprinkle paprika over the top of the pie, giving it a visually appealing finish that hints at the deliciousness within.
- Bake the cheeseburger pie in a preheated 375-degree Fahrenheit oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly, and the crust is cooked through.
- Once baked to perfection, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to sit for 5 minutes before slicing into it. This brief resting period allows the flavors to meld together and ensures the pie holds its shape when served.
With its hearty filling, flaky crust, and cheesy topping, this Cheeseburger Pie is sure to become a beloved favorite in your family’s meal rotation. Whether enjoyed for dinner or as leftovers for lunch, each bite is a nostalgic reminder of cherished family moments and the joy of sharing a delicious meal with loved ones.
