Description
Crazy Crust Pie is a vintage, all-in-one recipe where the crust forms magically around the filling as it bakes. It’s a quick, no-fuss savory or sweet pie that requires no rolling or chilling of dough—perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups cooked ground beef or sausage (or any filling of choice)
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- Optional: chopped vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or pie plate.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, pepper, and baking powder.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs with the milk and oil. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Evenly sprinkle the cooked meat, onions, and vegetables (if using) over the batter. Do not stir.
- Top with shredded cheese.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and set in the center.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Customize the filling to suit your taste—ham and broccoli, taco-seasoned beef, or spinach and feta are great options.
- For a vegetarian version, skip the meat and load up on sautéed veggies and cheese.
- Can be made ahead and reheated for easy meals throughout the week.
