Bacon Cheeseburger Pie

     I have not made many blog post this month at all and Im sorry for that!  That being said I decided to modify another recipe I came across to come up with a delicious dinner that can easily translate into lunches for later in the week.  Hope you enjoy!

Bacon Cheeseburger Pie

Servings: 8

Total Cooking/Baking Time: 30 Minutes
This recipe is modified from the original recipe "Cheeseburger Pie" found here.

Ingredients:

• 1 Pound Extra Lean Ground Beef
• 1 Medium Sweet Onion, Diced
• 5 Slices Pre-cooked Bacon
• 1/4 Cup Ketchup
• 2 Tablespoons Yellow Mustard
• 1/3 Cup Baking Mix
• 1 Cup Milk (I used 2%)
• 1/2 Cup Egg Substitute (or 2 large eggs)
• 8 Ounces Cheddar Jack Cheese, Shredded

Special Ingredient Notes:

• As I always say with cheese, it is cheaper and healthier to buy the cheese as a block and shred or cut it yourself.  Pre-shredded cheese  may be a time saver but it has extra preservatives.

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°. 
2. Spray 9 inch pie plate with cooking spray.
3. Cook the ground beef over medium high heat for 5 to 7 minutes until brown throughout. 
   
   
   
4. Add the onions and bacon and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until tender. 
   
5. Drain off as much of the fat as possible.
6. Add ketchup and mustard to meat and mix thoroughly. 
   
7. Spoon meat mixture into the prepared pie plate and spread out as evenly as possible.
   
8. Add baking mix, milk, and egg substitute in a small bowl and whisk until blended.
   
9. Stir in the cheese. 
   
10. Pour over the meat mixture in pie plate. 
    
11. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until knife inserted in center comes out clean and top has browned.
    
12. Cut into wedges and enjoy.
