Ingredients

Meat Filling

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Fresh cracked pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Pastry

  • 2 puff pastry sheets, thawed
  • 1 beaten egg + 1 teaspoon water (for egg wash)
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds

To Serve

  • Easy homemade burger sauce
  • Sliced iceberg lettuce
  • Diced red onion
  • Pickle chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the pie.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef along with a couple pinches of salt and pepper, and cook while crumbling with a spatula until fully browned and cooked through.
  3. Add Onions and Spices: Add diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, and a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until onions soften.
  4. Stir in Sauces and Relish: Remove the pan from heat. Stir in sweet pickle relish, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and a couple large pinches of salt and pepper, mixing well to combine.
  5. Prepare Pie Crust: Lightly grease an 11.5 inch deep dish pie pan. Roll out 1 sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Press pastry into the pie pan, trimming any excess dough.
  6. Blind Bake Bottom Crust: Prick the bottom crust all over with a fork to prevent puffing. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the edges just begin to turn golden brown. Pop any air bubbles that appear during baking.
  7. Add Filling: Spread the cooked meat mixture evenly over the partially baked crust. Then sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top of the meat layer.
  8. Top with Second Crust: Roll out the second puff pastry sheet on a floured surface. Place it over the meat and cheese filling, trim the excess leaving about 1/2 inch overhang, then fold and crimp edges to seal the pie tightly.
  9. Apply Egg Wash and Seeds: Brush the pie crust with the beaten egg wash evenly. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for a nutty crunch and appealing golden finish. Cut 4 slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
  10. Bake Pie: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the puff pastry is cooked through and has a dark golden brown color. If edges brown faster than the center, cover edges with a ring of foil and continue baking until fully done.
  11. Rest and Serve: Let the pie cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with easy homemade burger sauce, and garnish with sliced iceberg lettuce, diced red onion, and pickle chips for a complete cheeseburger experience.
  12. Enjoy and Review: Enjoy your comforting cheeseburger pie! If you loved this recipe, please leave a 5-star rating and a review to share your experience.

Notes

  • Make sure puff pastry sheets are fully thawed before rolling out to avoid cracks.
  • To prevent the crust edges from burning, use foil to shield them if they brown too quickly during baking.
  • You can customize the burger sauce to your taste or use your favorite store-bought version.
  • Allow the pie to rest after baking to help the filling set and make slicing easier.
  • Use sharp cheddar cheese for best flavor and melting properties.
