Beef Zucchini Pie
A savory beef and zucchini pie with cheesy, eggy filling on a biscuit crust, perfect for family dinners or casual gatherings with comforting flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef, diced zucchini, diced celery, chopped onion, salt, dry mustard, and pepper in a skillet.
- In a bowl, mix the milk and eggs until well blended.
- Stir the egg mixture into the cooked meat and vegetable mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a prepared biscuit crust in a baking dish.
- Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 30 minutes until golden and set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, try substituting ground turkey for the beef. If you prefer extra flavor, consider adding garlic or herbs like thyme or oregano to the meat mixture. You can also swap the Cheddar cheese with mozzarella for a different taste. If the zucchini is too watery, squeeze it dry in a paper towel before adding it to the mix.
Serving Suggestions
This Beef Zucchini Pie is delicious on its own but pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. Consider serving it with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added freshness. For a heartier option, serve alongside a side of garlic bread or roasted potatoes.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes, or reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through. It's also great served cold the next day!
