Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) shredded cheddar cheese
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Baking and Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) Bisquick mix
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) milk
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400F (200C) and coat a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Sauté ground beef and diced onions in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking meat into crumbles until fully cooked and no pink remains. Drain any excess grease and season with salt and black pepper.
- Transfer beef mixture into prepared pie dish, spreading evenly across the bottom and creating a uniform layer.
- Generously sprinkle shredded cheese over the meat layer, 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 batter over the cheese and beef layer, making sure it covers the entire surface.
- Place pie dish in preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown top and firm center.
- Remove from oven and allow pie to rest for 5 minutes, which helps set the filling and makes slicing easier.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm as a hearty main course.
Notes
- Customize the meat by using ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a leaner or vegetarian version that maintains the dish’s delicious flavor profile.
- Enhance the cheese layer by mixing different cheese varieties like cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack for added depth and complexity.
- Boost nutrition by incorporating finely chopped bell peppers or spinach into the beef mixture, increasing vegetable content without changing the pie’s core texture.
- Make it gluten-free by substituting Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix or a combination of almond flour and gluten-free baking powder for a similar consistency.
