Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (45 g)
- 1/2 cup Bisquick mix (60 g)
- 1 cup milk (240 ml)
- 2 eggs
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 400F (200C) and lightly coat a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Sauté ground beef and chopped onions in a skillet over medium heat, breaking meat into small crumbles until no pink remains. Drain any accumulated fat and season with salt and black pepper.
- Evenly distribute the seasoned beef mixture across the prepared pie dish, creating a uniform base layer.
- Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the meat, ensuring complete coverage.
- Whisk Bisquick mix, milk, and eggs in a mixing bowl until the batter becomes smooth and free of lumps.
- Carefully pour the liquid mixture over the beef and cheese layer, allowing it to settle naturally without disturbing the underlying ingredients.
- Transfer the pie dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown surface and firm center.
- Remove from oven and allow the pie to rest for 5 minutes, which helps set the filling and makes slicing easier.
- Cut into wedges and serve while still warm, offering a comforting and hearty meal.
Notes
- Drain beef thoroughly to prevent a soggy pie bottom and ensure a crispy texture.
- Choose lean ground beef (90/10) for a healthier version with less grease.
- Customize the pie by adding diced bell peppers or jalapeños for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Make it gluten-free by substituting Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix or almond flour blend.
