Ingredients

For the Pie:

• 1 single pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 5 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
• ⅓ cup Panko bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
• 3 tablespoons barbecue sauce
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Topping:

• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup milk

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Set the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and bacon over medium heat until the beef is browned and no pink remains. Drain any excess fat.
   • Stir in Panko bread crumbs, mustard, barbecue sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.
3. Assemble the Pie:
   • Roll out the pie crust into a pie dish and trim the edges as needed.
   • Spread the beef mixture evenly into the pie crust.
4. Make the Topping:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together the shredded cheddar cheese, egg, and milk until combined.
   • Pour the cheese mixture evenly over the beef filling.
5. Bake the Pie:
   • Cover the edges of the pie crust with foil to prevent over-browning.
   • Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese topping is golden and bubbly.
6. Cool and Serve:
