Cheeseburger Pot Pie

  • Prep Time: 30m
  • Cook Time: 15m

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 8 oz can refrigerated Pillsbury Original Crescent Dough Sheet
  • 1 lb 80/20 ground beef
  • 1/3 c finely diced yellow onion
  • 1/4 c dill pickles, chopped
  • 1/2 c ketchup
  • 1 tbsp. yellow mustard
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 6 slices American cheese, or 3/4 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp. sesame seeds

To serve:

  • 1 c shredded Iceberg lettuce
  • 1/4 c diced tomato
  • 1/4 c dill pickles, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. In a small bowl, use a fork and beat the egg until smooth, then set aside.
  3. On a flat surface, unroll dough into a rectangle. Invert a 9 inch regular (not deep dish) pie dish onto the dough and use a pizza cutter or knife to cut a circle from the dough about 1 inch wider the rim of the pie pan. Set both the pie pan and the dough circle aside for later.
  4. In a skillet, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring and breaking up the beef until it’s cooked through and you no longer see any pink.
  5. Use a colander to drain fat from the beef mixture and return to the skillet or place in a medium bowl.
  6. Add the pickles, ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the beef mixture, stirring until combined.
  7. Spoon beef mixture evenly into the pie pan.
  8. Arrange the cheese slices, or shredded cheese, evenly over the beef mixture.
  9. Gently place the dough circle over the beef mixture and crimp edges to seal.
  10. Use a pastry brush and brush the beaten egg on top of the dough, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  11. Cut a small slit in the middle of the crust to vent.
  12. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden-brown.
  13. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before garnishing with lettuce, tomato, and pickles.
