Jalapeno Cheeseburger Pie and Greens with Homemade Honey Mustard Vinaigrette

This pie is based on a recipe by LindaSue. Her website is amazing and has lots and lots of recipes and pictures. If you haven't already done so, stop by and check it out!

This pie is sooooo cheesy and hearty and has a kick from the jalapenos. It's very filling and yields 8 large pieces so it's great as leftovers too!

This was the first time I have ever made a vinaigrette, I just made it up as I went and it was delicious! The taste of the mustard goes great with the cheeseburger pie. I had a friend over to eat who is very picky and she loved the salad with the vinaigrette!

Ingredients:

Jalapeno Cheeseburger Pie

1  1/2 lbs ground beef
1/4 of a medium onion, chopped
1 cup Muenster cheese, shredded (or you can use Monterey Jack)
1/2 cup sharp cheddar, shredded
1 fresh jalapeno, diced
1 tsp onion powder
3 eggs
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste


Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. Brown ground beef in a large pan, season with onion powder, salt and pepper. Drain off excess grease.
3. Add chopped onion and cook until onion is soft, about 5 minutes, then add in the Muenster cheese. Set aside.
4. In a separate large bowl whisk the eggs, add the mayo and heavy cream and mix very well until completely combined
5. In a large pie pan (I used a 12" round pan) Add the ground beef mixture spread evenly
6. Top with the egg mixture and then add the sharp cheddar
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until top is set and golden brown. Slice into 8 pieces and serve.
