Recipe by Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 onion, finely chopped |
4 garlic cloves, finely minced |
1 lb lean ground beef |
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (sweet or hot, your choice) |
1 teaspoon garlic salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional) |
1 teaspoon chopped thyme |
2 large eggs |
3 tablespoons sweet mustard |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce |
1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs |
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil on medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic, and cook until the onions become caramelized, about 7-8 minutes. Add the ground beef, paprika, garlic salt, red pepper flakes (if using) and chopped thyme. Cook the beef until thoroughly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set the beef and onion mixture in a large mixing bowl.
3. With a spoon, gently mix in the eggs, mustard, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, seasoned bread crumbs, and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Spoon the mixture into the pie crust, and top with the remaining cup of cheese.
4. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch drips. Bake for 40 minutes, until the crust is golden, and the cheese is browned. Serve hot.
