Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (1 lb) ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Bisquick mix
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Aromatics:
- 1 cup onion, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the meat mixture by sautéing ground beef with diced onions in a skillet over medium heat until the meat browns and onions soften, approximately 7-8 minutes. Drain excess grease and season with salt.
- Transfer the seasoned meat mixture into a greased 9-inch pie dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom to create a uniform layer.
- Distribute shredded cheddar cheese generously over the meat, ensuring complete coverage.
- Whisk Bisquick mix, milk, and eggs in a separate bowl until the mixture becomes smooth and free of lumps.
- Carefully pour the Bisquick batter over the cheese and meat layer, allowing it to settle naturally without disturbing the underlying ingredients.
- Place the pie dish in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown surface and checking that a knife inserted into the center emerges clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie rest for 3-4 minutes to allow the filling to set and cool slightly.
- Slice and serve with classic burger condiments like ketchup, mustard, or pickles for added flavor.
Notes
- Customize the meat by using ground turkey or plant-based alternatives for a lighter or vegetarian version of the pie.
- Enhance flavor complexity by adding minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, or chili powder to the ground beef during cooking.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack, Swiss, or a blend to create unique taste profiles and make the dish more exciting.
- Prepare the pie ahead of time by assembling and refrigerating, then baking just before serving to save time during busy weeknights.
