Foodie Friday: Cheeseburger Pie

Christ is Risen!  Happy Bright Friday!  I can finally post a non-Lenten recipe in good conscience.  I made this on Monday night, and neglected to take a picture while it was still in the pan, but I think the leftover wedge gives you the idea.  I can't find the original source of this recipe, but I didn't come up with it, so I'll just leave it at that.  It is super easy and fast, and I find that I often have the ingredients on hand.

Cheeseburger Pie

  • 1 pie crust (you can make your own, use an oil crust, or a premade from the store; I usually use a premade)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 1 T Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 T. white flour
  • 1 cup cottage cheese or ricotta cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • ketchup
  • 8 oz shredded cheddar (I use reduced fat)

Preheat oven to 395.  Brown beef and onions, then add flour and Worcestershire sauce.  Roll pie crust into a 9" pie plate and spoon beef into the bottom.  In a mixing bowl, mix cottage cheese and eggs together with a spoon.  Spoon over the beef mixture and spread evenly.  Squirt a ring of ketchup over the top (probably a tablespoon or two) and spread evenly with a spoon.  Top with cheese and bake 40 minutes or until crust is browned and cheese bubbly.  Let sit for five minutes before cutting.  Cut into wedges and serve.
