Ingredients
- 1 large onion, chopped (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 the oven to 400°F. Grease a medium glass pie plate (9-inch) with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until soft, for about 3 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, which usually takes around 10 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the beef, then season it with salt, black pepper, and optionally, garlic powder.
- Spread the cooked and seasoned beef mixture evenly into the prepared pie plate. Sprinkle the grated Cheddar cheese over the beef layer, ensuring it covers the surface evenly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Bisquick mix (or flour), milk, and eggs until well combined. This creates a smooth batter.
- Carefully pour the batter over the beef and cheese layers in the pie plate, ensuring it covers the entire surface evenly.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm and enjoy this comforting slice of cheeseburger pie with your favorite sides or a crisp green salad.

Notes
- Serve Warm: Pioneer Woman’s Cheeseburger Pie is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when the cheese is gooey and the crust is crisp. Serve it warm for maximum flavor and comfort.
- Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Add a pop of color and freshness to your Cheeseburger Pie by garnishing it with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives before serving. Not only does it enhance the presentation, but it also adds a burst of flavor.
- Pair with Sides: Complement the hearty flavors of the pie with your favorite sides such as a crisp green salad, roasted vegetables, or seasoned fries. The combination of textures and flavors will elevate your meal to new heights.
- Store Properly: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, place individual slices in the microwave or oven until heated through.
- Freeze for Later: Cheeseburger Pie can also be frozen for future enjoyment. Wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then warm in the oven until heated through.
