How to Make Savoury Cheeseburger Onion Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Unroll two 9-inch pie crusts and gently press into two 9-inch pie plates. Flute the edges as desired. Cover and refrigerate until ready to fill.
  3. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1/2 green bell pepper (chopped), 1 tsp dried thyme, and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Cook until beef is browned and vegetables are softened.
  4. Drain excess fat from the skillet.
  5. Stir in 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 tbsp chili sauce. Add 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes and 1 jalapeño pepper (finely chopped, optional).
  6. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with 1 tsp seasoned salt and black pepper to taste. Cool almost to room temperature.
  7. Divide the beef mixture evenly between the two pie crusts.
  8. Top each pie with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add 2 large onions (thinly sliced) and 2 tsp sugar. Cook for 20-22 minutes, or until onions are soft and caramelized.
  10. Evenly distribute the caramelized onions over the cheese on both pies.
  11. In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup half-and-half, 2 large eggs, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper.
  12. Pour half of the egg mixture over the onions on each pie.
  13. Sprinkle 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese over each pie.
  14. Place pies on a large baking sheet to catch spills.
  15. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes.
  16. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  17. Let cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
