Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
- 1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
Baking Base:
- 1/2 cup Original Bisquick mix (or all-purpose flour)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and thoroughly coat a 9-inch glass pie dish with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large skillet, sauté chopped onions over medium heat until translucent and softened, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles using a wooden spatula. Cook until meat is completely browned and no pink remains, about 8-10 minutes.
- Drain excess fat from the beef and season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder for enhanced flavor.
- Distribute the seasoned beef evenly across the prepared pie dish, creating a uniform base layer.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef, ensuring complete coverage.
- Whisk Bisquick mix, milk, and eggs in a separate bowl until smooth and free of lumps.
- Carefully pour the batter over the beef and cheese layers, allowing it to spread naturally.
- Transfer the pie dish to the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a knife inserted in the center emerges clean.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving hot.
Notes
- Swap ground beef with turkey or plant-based crumbles for a leaner, healthier alternative that still delivers robust flavor.
- Boost nutritional value by adding finely chopped spinach or grated zucchini into the meat mixture without changing the overall taste profile.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or Swiss to create unique flavor combinations that elevate the classic recipe.
- Use gluten-free Bisquick or almond flour for a celiac-friendly version that maintains the pie’s signature texture and deliciousness.
