Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion until tender.

  3. Add garlic and cook until soft and fragrant for about 1 minute.

  4. Add ground beef and cook until it is no longer pink, usually around 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.

  5. Season the mixture with salt, Worcestershire sauce, dill pickles, pickle juice, and mustard. Stir well to combine.

  6. Line a pie plate with a refrigerated pie crust. Transfer the beef mixture into the pie crust.

  7. In a small bowl, whisk together milk and egg. Pour this mixture over the ground beef. Top with cheddar cheese.

  8. Create a bacon lattice by placing four strips of bacon on top of the pie. Flip two strips back and place one slice on top. Then, flip back the two strips and flip up the other two, creating a weave.

  9. Season with pepper.

  10. Cover the pie crust with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes. If the bacon needs more cooking, broil for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.

  11. Allow the pie to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
