Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef (or substitute with ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based alternatives)
- 1 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced (optional, for flavor enhancement)
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (or substitute with other cheese types for varied flavors)
Batter Mixture
- 1 cup Bisquick Mix (or homemade baking mix)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk (or substitute with almond milk for dairy-free option)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
Toppings (Optional)
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Pickles
- Lettuce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the pie later.
- Cook the Ground Beef Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the ground beef with finely chopped onions and garlic (if using) until the beef is fully browned and onions are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Season the Beef: Season the cooked beef and onion mixture with salt and pepper. Optionally add ketchup or mustard to taste, mixing well to combine all flavors.
- Prepare the Pie Dish: Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish to prevent sticking. Spread the seasoned cooked beef mixture evenly across the bottom of the dish, then sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef.
- Mix the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and Bisquick mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the egg and Bisquick batter over the beef and cheese layers in the pie dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with optional toppings such as pickles or lettuce, and serve warm.
Notes
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based alternatives for a different protein option.
- If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond milk and use a dairy-free cheese alternative.
- Adding garlic is optional but enhances the flavor profile of the pie.
- To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean without batter sticking.
- This dish pairs well with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
