A fun and delicious twist on a cheeseburger pie, perfect for Halloween or any festive occasion.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a golden crust.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until the beef is browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat.
Use a wooden spoon to break up the beef for even cooking.
Stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Cooling the filling prevents the crust from becoming soggy.
Unroll one pie crust onto a greased baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of mustard over the crust.
Ensure the crust is evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Mix the shredded cheese into the cooled beef mixture and spoon it onto the center of the crust, leaving a 2-inch border.
Mixing the cheese into the filling ensures it melts evenly.
Unroll the second pie crust and cut out a jack-o'-lantern face. Place it over the filling and crimp the edges to seal. Use the cutouts to create a stem design on top.
Chill the crust briefly if it becomes too soft to handle.
Whisk together the egg, water, and food coloring to create an egg wash. Brush it over the crust.
The egg wash gives the crust a shiny, golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove, brush with more egg wash, and fill the cutouts with additional cheese. Bake for another 5-10 minutes until golden brown.
Keep an eye on the crust to prevent over-browning.
Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your spooky creation!
Cooling slightly helps the filling set for easier slicing.
