Servings 6
Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust brought to room temperature
- 4 slices bacon chopped
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1/2 cup onion diced
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. mustard
- 1 tbsp. ketchup
- 1/2 tsp. pickle brine
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 Velveeta Fresh Packs chopped and divided
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Roll out pie crust so it hangs over the side of your pie plate. Place in pie plate, rolling edge of the pie crust over and crimping it.
- Add bacon to a medium skillet and cook 8 minutes, until crispy. Drain and set aside, reserving a little to top the pie.
- Wipe out the skillet and add the ground beef. Cook the ground beef until it's browned, about 10 minutes.
- Drain the beef and add in the onion, garlic powder, mustard, ketchup, and pickle brine. Season with salt and pepper. Cook just until the onion begins to soften, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add half of the chopped Velveeta cheese. Stir just until melted. Remove the beef mixture from heat.
- Stir in the bread crumbs. Then, spoon into the prepared pie crust.
- Drizzle the egg over the top of the beef mixture and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, add the rest of the Velveeta cheese and 1/4 cup of milk. Heat over low and stir until cheese has melted into a smooth cheese sauce.
- Pour the cheese over the top of the pie and spread evenly. Sprinkle a little bacon on top, if desired.
- Bake pie in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese starts to bubble.
- Allow the pie to cool for a couple minutes before slicing.
- Serve with a side of pickle chips.
Notes
If you want to use shredded cheddar cheese instead of Velveeta, use 2 cups of shredded cheese. Add 1 cup for the beef mixture and 1 cup for the cheese topping.
