As most of you know I have been working as a Taste of Home Magazine Volunteer Field Editor and one of the things we do as part of that is to try and write reviews for some of the Taste of Home recipes. This particular recipe had quite a buzz around it among many other Volunteer Field Editors, with everyone really loving it. I’ll be honest I was a little skeptical because I don’t really like cheeseburgers all that much, but decided to make it anyway as Jim is a huge burger fan! We both really, really enjoyed this dish and it does taste like a cheeseburger. The one and only thing I would do different the next time, is that I make it using slightly less relish as it really made the dish sweet. This is a keeper for me!
INGREDIENTS
1 refrigerated pie crust
3/4 pound ground beef
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 cup relish
1/2 cup crumbled and cooked bacon
5 large eggs
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup 2% milk
2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large skillet cook beef over medium heat until cooked through. Drain any fat from the bottom of the skillet. Add tomatoes, onion, relish and bacon mix to combine. Add the beef mixture into your unbaked pie crust. In a large bowl whisk the eggs, cream, milk, mustard, and pepper. Pour this over the beef mixture. Sprinkle the top with both cheeses. Bake at 375 degrees for 50 – 60 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking to prevent over browning of crust. Let stand for ten minutes before cutting. Serve warm.
Enjoy!
