Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
Seasonings
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Dairy and Baking Mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup Bisquick or all-purpose baking mix
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
Optional Toppings
- Ketchup, mustard, pickles for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature by the time you’re ready to bake the pie.
- Cook Beef and Onion: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion together until the beef is thoroughly browned and the onions have softened. Drain any excess fat to avoid greasiness. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, stirring to combine well.
- Prepare Pie Base: Grease a 9-inch pie dish lightly. Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly across the bottom of the pie dish, creating a flat layer. Then, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef layer.
- Mix Batter: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the Bisquick (or all-purpose baking mix), milk, and eggs until the batter is smooth and well combined without lumps.
- Assemble and Pour Batter: Pour the prepared batter evenly over the layered beef and cheese in the pie dish, making sure it covers the filling completely.
- Bake: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The pie is done when the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Rest and Serve: After baking, allow the cheeseburger pie to rest for a few minutes to set. Slice into wedges and serve. Optionally, add ketchup, mustard, and pickles on the side for classic cheeseburger flavor enhancements.
Notes
- You can substitute Bisquick with your favorite all-purpose baking mix or a homemade pancake mix.
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the beef mixture.
- This pie can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking; just increase baking time slightly if baking from cold.
- Letting the pie rest after baking helps it hold together better when sliced.
- Feel free to add other toppings like diced tomatoes or pickled jalapeños when serving.
