Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your ingredients and necessary equipment.
Cook 1 pound of ground beef along with 1 chopped medium onion over medium heat for about 7-10 minutes until browned and onions are translucent. Drain excess fat.
Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce (if desired) to the beef mixture. Stir for an additional minute.
Lightly grease your 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter. Layer the seasoned beef mixture into the bottom of the dish.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef filling.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, and 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour until smooth.
Pour the prepared batter evenly over the beef and cheese layers.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Allow the pie to cool for about 10 minutes before serving warm.
