How To Make Bacon Cheeseburger Pie
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F.
Step 2: Cook the ground beef with onion and beef until the meat is no longer pink. Drain well when done and take off the heat. Next, stir in the bread crumbs along with the mustard, barbecue sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire, and pepper. Pour everything into the prepared pie crust.
Step 3: Place the cheese, milk, and egg in a small bowl. Mix well until combined and spread this on top of the meat mixture.
