Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 medium (about 2 cups grated) zucchini
• 0.5 cup (diced) onion
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0 (for greasing the pie dish) cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and set the cooked beef aside.

Step 3

Using a box grater, shred the zucchini. Transfer the grated zucchini to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This will prevent the pie from becoming soggy.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the cooked ground beef back into the skillet and stir to combine. Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until smooth.

Step 6

Stir the shredded zucchini and 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture.

Step 7

Spread the ground beef mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish. Pour the egg, zucchini, and cheese mixture over the beef, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pie is set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
