Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup Bisquick or all-purpose baking mix
• 1 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• Optional: ketchup, mustard, pickles for serving

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Step 2: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. Drain any excess fat, then season with salt and pepper.
3. Step 3: Spread the beef mixture evenly into a greased 9-inch pie dish. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
4. Step 4: In a mixing bowl, whisk together Bisquick, milk, and eggs until the batter is smooth and well combined.
5. Step 5: Pour the batter over the meat and cheese layers in the pie dish, spreading gently to cover evenly.
6. Step 6: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Step 7: Allow the pie to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or pickles, if desired.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, sauté the onion with a clove of minced garlic or a pinch of smoked paprika before adding the beef.
• Try mixing in diced pickles into the beef layer to amp up that classic cheeseburger taste.
• Use sharp cheddar for a more pronounced cheese flavor, or mix in some mozzarella for extra meltiness.
• If you don’t have Bisquick, substitute with an equal amount of all-purpose flour but add 1 tsp baking powder for lift.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm individual slices in the microwave or oven until heated through. This pie can also be frozen for up to 1 month—just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Notes

• You can substitute Bisquick with all-purpose flour mixed with baking powder as a homemade alternative.
• For a lower-fat option, use lean ground beef or ground turkey.
• Adding diced pickles or a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture can enhance the classic cheeseburger flavor.
• Make sure to drain the beef thoroughly to avoid a soggy crust.
• Let the pie rest after baking to allow it to set, which makes slicing easier.
