This Big Mac Pot Pie combines the flavors of a classic cheeseburger with a flaky puff pastry crust for a hearty, family-friendly meal. Seasoned beef, cheddar cheese, pickles, and burger sauce come together in a comforting baked dish.

Ingredients

  • olive oil
  • lean ground beef
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • ground black pepper
  • kosher salt
  • yellow onion
  • dill pickle spears
  • sharp Cheddar cheese
  • egg
  • water
  • frozen puff pastry sheets
  • sesame seeds
  • mayonnaise
  • yellow mustard
  • white sugar
  • paprika
  • onion powder
  • garlic powder
  • pickle brine
  • shredded lettuce
  • diced tomatoes (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat part of the olive oil in a large skillet and brown the ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks.
  3. Season the beef with Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and kosher salt.
  4. Transfer the cooked beef to a baking dish, leaving the drippings behind.
  5. Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and pickle brine to make the burger sauce.
  6. Cook the sliced onions in the reserved skillet drippings with the remaining olive oil until softened and lightly caramelized.
  7. Stir the chopped dill pickles into the onions and cook briefly.
  8. Spread the onion and pickle mixture over the beef.
  9. Spoon some of the burger sauce over the filling.
  10. Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  11. Roll out the thawed puff pastry and place it over the baking dish, trimming or crimping the edges as needed.
  12. Whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash, then brush it over the pastry.
  13. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the pastry.
  14. Bake until the pastry is puffed and deeply golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
  15. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  16. Garnish each serving with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and an extra drizzle of burger sauce.

  • Everything bagel seasoning can replace sesame seeds.
  • Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze cooled portions for up to 2 months and thaw overnight before reheating.
  • Reheat in a 350°F oven to help keep the pastry crisp.
