Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 0.5 cup yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 1 tablespoon dill pickle relish
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 ounces crescent roll dough
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 drop orange food coloring (optional)
• 1 sheet parchment paper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and garlic until the beef is browned and the onions turn translucent. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 3

Season the beef mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir in ketchup, mustard, and dill pickle relish. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors. Remove skillet from heat and mix in shredded cheddar cheese. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 4

Unroll the crescent roll dough. Arrange one sheet of dough in a pie dish, pressing to cover the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Step 5

Spoon the beef and cheese mixture into the dough-lined pie dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Using a second sheet of crescent dough, cut out a Jack O' Lantern face (eyes, nose, and mouth) to create the top crust. Carefully place this piece over the filling in the pie dish. Pinch the edges of the top and bottom dough together to seal.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk the beaten egg with milk. Add a drop of optional orange food coloring if you want a pumpkin-like hue. Brush this egg wash over the top crust for a golden finish.

Step 8

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm, and enjoy your spooky, savory Jack O' Lantern Cheeseburger Pie!
