- 1 tsp Dijon mustard imparting a tangy kick
- 1/2 tsp salt enhancing overall flavor
- 1/4 tsp black pepper adding a hint of spice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese giving a sharp and creamy texture
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese providing gooey meltiness

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your 9-inch pie pan by lining it with the refrigerated pie crust.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, adding the ground beef. Break it apart as it cooks until fully browned.
- Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is soft and translucent (about 5-7 minutes).
- Once the mixture is ready, stir in Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper, allowing the flavors to meld for a minute. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
Mixing
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and flour until smooth.
- Add in melted butter, ketchup, and mustard to the egg mixture, stirring to combine.
Assembly
- Transfer the cooled beef mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the beef layer.
- Pour the egg mixture over everything, ensuring every ounce is well-covered.
Baking
- Carefully place the pie in your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set in the center.
- Once baked, let the pie cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
- Optionally, garnish with pickles for that extra cheeseburger flair. Serve warm.
