Cheeseburger Pie, or meatloaf, is a savory and comforting appetizer, perfect for festive meals or parties with friends. This simple and quick recipe combines the classic flavors of a cheeseburger with the soft and moist texture of a loaf, creating a dish that is sure to impress.
Ingredients needed:
- 500 g ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 200 g cheddar cheese, grated
- 4 eggs
- 250 g Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 200 g flour
- 1 packet of baking powder (10 g)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 g pickles, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for frying
Step-by-step preparation:
1. Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. Grease a loaf pan with a little olive oil or use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. In a large skillet, add the olive oil and sauté the chopped onion over medium heat until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and ground beef, stirring to break up any large pieces. Cook until the meat is well browned, then let it cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and add the Greek yogurt (or sour cream). Mix well, then add the flour, baking powder, mustard, salt, and pepper. Combine the ingredients until you have a smooth batter.
4. Fold the cooked beef mixture with onions and garlic into the batter. Add the grated cheddar cheese and, if desired, the chopped pickles. Mix well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and level the surface with a spatula.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until the pie is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serving suggestions:
Serve Cheeseburger Pie warm, alongside a fresh green salad or with ketchup and mayonnaise dips. You can also add slices of avocado or fresh tomatoes for an extra touch of freshness.
Possible variations:
For a more intense flavor, you can experiment with gouda or mozzarella cheese. If you prefer a spicy taste, add chopped hot peppers or spices like paprika or cumin.
Cheeseburger Pie is a versatile recipe, perfect for adapting to your tastes. This ground beef pie brings all the flavor of a cheeseburger right to your table, making it an excellent choice for any occasion. Don't forget to enjoy every bite!
