Ingredients

1.5 cups sourdough starter
3 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon basil
3 tablespoons butter or coconut oil
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pound beef
4 cups mixed veggies Such as peppers, red onions, mushrooms, and corn.
1/4 fresh cilantro
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Ideally, if you cooked your filling in the cast iron skillet, it is already preheated. Preheating is the best step to take to ensure nothing sticks.
Saute the beef in the cast iron skillet on the stove. After the beef is completely cooked, place on a plate and set aside.
Cook the mixed veggies and cilantro in the cast iron skillet.
While the veggies are cooking on the stove, mix together the sourdough mixture of sourdough starter, eggs, salt, basil, butter, and baking powder.
When the veggies are done cooking, add the beef back into the cast iron skillet and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine the beef and veggies.
Spread the sourdough mixture over the top of the veggies and beef, and sprinkle with 1.5 cups grated cheddar cheese.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until bread is cooked through and golden.

Notes

This recipe is really just a starting off point. You can create any type of filling you would like. Just add the sourdough topping, cheese, and bake. I've included some of my favorite variations below.
I like to use a cast iron skillet because it can easily go from stove top to oven. You can use another oven safe skillet, or transfer the filling to a baking dish and then top with the sourdough topping.
This recipe can be made with discarded sourdough starter. It is a great way to use up all that extra sourdough starter, especially when you are just starting out on your wild yeast journey.
