Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 6 tbsp butter, cold and cubed
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 cup pickle slices, for garnish (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the beef mixture is evenly coated. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Step 6

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the milk and egg together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until combined, forming a slightly sticky dough.

Step 9

Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the beef mixture in the baking dish, spreading gently to cover most of the surface.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the dough.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheddar crust is golden and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 12

Let the Cheddar Crust Cheeseburger Bake rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with pickle slices, if desired.
