Ingredients
Scale
Primary Protein:
- 1 lb (0.45 kg) ground beef
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
- 2 eggs
Seasonings and Dry Ingredients:
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup Bisquick mix
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a toasty 400°F and lightly coat a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place ground beef and diced onions in a hot skillet, browning the meat thoroughly while breaking it into small crumbles. Carefully drain away any excess fat.
- Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the meat mixture, ensuring even seasoning throughout.
- Transfer the savory beef mixture into the prepared pie plate, creating an even layer across the bottom.
- Generously distribute shredded cheese over the meat, covering the entire surface for maximum flavor distribution.
- Whisk milk, Bisquick mix, and eggs in a mixing bowl until the batter becomes completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Gently pour the liquid mixture over the cheese and beef, allowing it to settle naturally across the pie plate.
- Slide the pie into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, watching for a golden-brown top and firm center.
- Remove from oven and allow the pie to rest for 3-5 minutes, which helps the filling set and makes slicing easier.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm, enjoying the delicious blend of beef, cheese, and fluffy batter.
Notes
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based meat alternatives for a lighter, healthier version of the pie.
- Add extra flavor by mixing in diced bell peppers, jalapeños, or mushrooms to the beef mixture for more depth and nutrition.
- Use low-fat cheese and milk to reduce overall calorie content while maintaining the delicious cheeseburger taste.
- Create a gluten-free option by substituting Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix or almond flour blend.
