Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (1 lb) lean ground beef
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
Crust Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Original Bisquick mix
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
Seasoning and Aromatics:
- 1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat the oven to a toasty 400°F, preparing a 9-inch pie plate for the culinary adventure ahead.
- In a sizzling skillet, brown the ground beef with diced onions over medium heat, ensuring the meat is thoroughly cooked and the onions turn translucent.
- Carefully drain excess fat from the meat mixture, then season with a pinch of salt, mixing thoroughly.
- Spread the seasoned beef evenly across the bottom of the pie plate, creating a hearty base for the dish.
- Generously scatter shredded cheese over the meat layer, allowing it to melt and create a rich, savory foundation.
- Whisk together Bisquick™️ mix, milk, and eggs in a mixing bowl until the batter becomes smooth and well-incorporated.
- Gently pour the creamy batter over the cheese and meat, ensuring complete coverage across the pie plate.
- Transfer the pie to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, watching for a golden-brown top and checking with a knife that comes out clean from the center.
- Remove from the oven and let the pizza burger pie rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving this delightful fusion dish.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce overall fat content and create a healthier version of the dish.
- Experiment with ground turkey or plant-based meat alternatives for a lighter protein option that maintains the burger-pizza flavor profile.
- Add extra vegetables like diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the beef mixture for increased nutrition and added texture.
- Customize cheese selection by using a blend of mozzarella and cheddar for a more complex pizza-burger flavor combination.
