Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup onion (diced)
Dairy and Eggs
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
Dry Ingredients and Seasonings
- ¾ cup Bisquick
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the pie.
- Prepare Pie Pan: Grease a 9 inch pie pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- Cook Beef and Onions: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef along with the diced onions until fully cooked. Drain off any excess grease to reduce fat content.
- Assemble Pie Base: Spread the cooked ground beef and onions evenly across the bottom of the greased pie pan, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the meat layer.
- Mix Batter: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, Bisquick, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder until just combined to create the topping batter.
- Pour Batter: Pour the prepared batter mixture over the meat and cheese layer in the pie pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the pie pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately while hot for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add chopped pickles or mustard to the beef mixture before baking.
- Using room temperature eggs helps the batter combine more smoothly.
- You can substitute Bisquick with your favorite all-purpose baking mix if preferred.
- Drain the cooked beef thoroughly to avoid a greasy pie.
- This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
