Notes

For best results, don't overmix the batter – a few small lumps are okay
Allow the pie to rest before cutting to ensure clean slices
You can substitute ground turkey or plant-based meat for a lighter version
Feel free to experiment with different cheese varieties
The pie will puff up during baking but will settle as it cools
For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the meat mixture
