Jack o lantern cheeseburger pie pairs seasoned ground beef and cheddar with a pastry crust cut into a pumpkin face for Halloween dinner. Cooking excess moisture out of the filling and partially baking the bottom crust help keep each slice firm rather than soggy.
Essential Concepts
Cook beef first; reduce moisture; partially bake the bottom crust.
