Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 eggs
Dairy and Cheese:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
Baking and Seasoning:
- 1/2 cup Bisquick mix
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F 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 until meat is completely browned and onions are translucent, approximately 7-8 minutes.
- Drain any excess grease from the meat mixture and evenly distribute the beef across the prepared pie dish.
- Generously scatter shredded cheese over the meat layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Whisk Bisquick mix, milk, eggs, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.
- Carefully pour the batter over the cheese and meat layer, making sure it spreads evenly to the edges.
- Transfer the pie dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the center appears set when gently jiggled.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pie to rest for 5 minutes, which helps the filling stabilize and makes slicing easier.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm, garnishing with optional fresh herbs or additional cheese if desired.
Notes
- Customize the ground beef by using lean options like turkey or plant-based crumbles for a lighter version.
- Enhance flavor by adding diced bell peppers or jalapeños to the meat mixture for extra zest and nutrition.
- Make it gluten-free by substituting Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix or almond flour blend.
- Prep this dish ahead of time by assembling everything except the Bisquick topping, then refrigerate and add the topping just before baking for maximum freshness.
