Instructions
- Heat oven to 375° F.Grease a deep 9 or 10-inch cast-iron skillet heavily with butter. Place a thawed 9-inch pie crust into the skillet, allowing the edges to hang off the sides.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3 minutes or until softened. Add the ground beef, stirring with a spatula to break up the larger bits of meat, cooking until the beef is no longer pink.Drain the fat from the pan.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the garlic, seasonings, and breadcrumbs. Combine well and then remove from heat to allow the mixture to cool.
- Whisk together the eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and pickles in a medium mixing bowl. Then combine the egg mixture with the cooled meat mixture. NOTE: if the meat is still hot, wait before mixing so the temperature does not begin to cook the eggs.
- Divide the cheese in half and stir in one half of the cheese to the meat and set the other half to the side.
- Turn the mixture onto the pie crust pressing slightly with the back of a spoon to pack it all together. Top with fresh or diced tomatoes. Trim off the excess pie crust hanging over the sides and then crimp the remaining pastry.
- Prepare the egg wash by whisking together one egg and one tablespoon of water. Brush the visible crust with the egg wash.
- Bake for 40 minutes. Then top with the cooked crispy bacon and remaining cheese. Bake for another 5 to 10 minutes or until the top cheese has thoroughly melted.
- Allow the pie to cool for 5 to 10 minutes to fully set prior to slicing and serving.
