Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon steak seasoning or a grill seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fine unseasoned breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 tablespoons chopped dill pickle
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar jack or cheddar cheese
  • Fresh tomatoes, sliced, chopped
  • 6 to 8 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled, optional
  • 8 slices American cheese or 4 ounces shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble ground beef into a skillet and add chopped onion.
  2. Cook until onion is translucent and ground beef is no longer pink, stirring constantly. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Drain off excess fat.
  3. Add the steak seasoning, kosher salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs to the meat; stir to blend. Remove the skillet from heat and set it aside to cool the meat mixture slightly.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with mustard, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce.
  5. Stir in chopped dill pickle.
  6. Add the ground beef mixture to the bowl along with 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and stir to blend.
  7. Pack the meat and cheese mixture into the pie plate and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove the pie to a rack and top it with the bacon, if using, and the sliced tomatoes, and then arrange the American cheese or more shredded cheese over the tomatoes.
  9. Bake cheeseburger pie for 5 to 10 minutes longer, until cheese topping has melted.
