• 1.5 pounds ground beef
• 1 tablespoon tallow, or cooking fat of choice, separated
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 4 whole eggs
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon ground mustard
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheese
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round pie plate or 8×8-inch baking dish.
2. Lightly brown the meat in cooking fat over medium-high heat in a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast iron. Transfer to pie plate once cooked.
3. Add a little more fat to the skillet and brown the onions until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently.
4. While the onions cook, whisk the eggs. Add herbs, salt and pepper.
5. Pour over the beef so it sinks into the meat. Shake the dish gently if needed.
6. Arrange the onions in an even layer over the eggs and meat.
7. Top the whole pie with cheese.
8. Bake for 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Allow the cheeseburger pie to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
