Ingredients
- 1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste (optional)
- 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
- ½ cup Original Bisquick mix (or all-purpose flour)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat and Grease: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Grease a medium-sized glass pie plate (about 9 inches) with some vegetable oil.
- Cook Onion and Beef: In a large skillet, heat up some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it’s soft, which should take about 3 minutes. Put the ground beef into the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Let it cook until it’s browned, roughly 10 minutes. Once cooked, drain any extra fat from the beef and season it with salt, black pepper, and, if you like, some garlic powder.
- Layer Beef and Cheese: Spread the cooked and seasoned beef mixture evenly into the prepared pie plate. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the beef layer.
- Prepare Batter: In a small bowl, whisk together the Bisquick mix (or flour), milk, and eggs until everything’s well combined. Then, pour this batter over the beef and cheese layers in the pie plate.
- Bake: Bake it in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Once it’s done, take it out of the oven, let it cool for a bit, then serve it up warm. Enjoy your comforting slice of cheeseburger pie!
Notes
- Serve Warm: Cheeseburger Pie is best served warm, straight out of the oven. Allow it to cool for a few minutes after baking to firm up slightly before slicing and serving.
- Garnish with Fresh Ingredients: Enhance the presentation and flavor of your Cheeseburger Pie by garnishing it with fresh ingredients such as chopped tomatoes, lettuce, or green onions. Serve alongside traditional burger condiments like ketchup, mustard, and pickles for added flair.
- Pair with Side Dishes: Complement your Cheeseburger Pie with a variety of side dishes to create a complete meal. Consider serving it with a crisp green salad, coleslaw, roasted vegetables, or potato wedges for a satisfying and balanced dining experience.
- Store Properly: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To maintain freshness, cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil before refrigerating.
- Reheat with Care: When reheating individual slices of Cheeseburger Pie, place them on a microwave-safe plate and heat them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat the entire pie in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
- Freeze for Later: Cheeseburger Pie can also be frozen for future enjoyment. Wrap the cooled pie tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil or place it in a freezer-safe container. Label with the date and store in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and follow the reheating instructions above.
