Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, and green beans)
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 packet (approximately 8.5 ounces) Cornbread mix
• 0.75 cup Milk (for cornbread mix)
• 1 large Egg (for cornbread mix)
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil or butter (for greasing pan)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or casserole dish with vegetable oil or butter and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and chili powder. Let simmer for 5 minutes to thicken the mixture slightly.

Step 5

Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir to combine. Let cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove the skillet from heat.

Step 6

Pour the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish or casserole dish.

Step 7

Prepare the cornbread topping by following the instructions on the cornbread mix package. Typically, this involves combining the cornbread mix with milk and an egg. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 8

Optional: Stir shredded cheddar cheese into the cornbread batter for an extra cheesy topping.

Step 9

Carefully spread the cornbread batter over the beef mixture in the pie dish, ensuring it covers the top evenly.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cornbread topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Let the hamburger pie cool for 5 minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy!
