Ingredients
Scale
Meat Mixture
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup ketchup
Topping
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup Bisquick
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar baking pan to prevent sticking.
- Cook beef and onions: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, about 7 minutes. Drain excess grease to keep the pie from being greasy.
- Season and add ketchup: Season the cooked beef and onion mixture with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in the ketchup until the mixture is evenly coated. Spread this mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish.
- Add cheese layer: Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef and onion layer to create a cheesy crust beneath the batter.
- Prepare Bisquick batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together Bisquick, milk, and eggs until smooth and fully combined. This will form the topping for the pie.
- Pour batter over pie: Slowly pour the Bisquick mixture over the beef and cheese layers. The batter should cover the surface completely to create a cohesive pie.
- Bake the pie: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set. Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
- Cool and serve: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm. Optionally, add a drizzle of ketchup and serve with pickles for an authentic cheeseburger experience.
Notes
- For a lower fat version, use lean ground beef (90% lean or higher).
- Substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or a cheese blend for a different flavor.
- Bisquick can be replaced with self-rising flour if you prefer homemade alternatives.
- Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables to add freshness and balance the meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
