Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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
- 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 prepare it for the pie.
- Cook Beef and Onion: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 7 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
- Season and Combine: Season the cooked beef and onion mixture with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in the ketchup evenly to coat the mixture, then spread it into the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef layer.
- Prepare Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Bisquick, milk, and eggs until you get a smooth batter. Pour this mixture slowly over the beef and cheese layers, making sure it fully covers the surface.
- Bake the Pie: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the top becomes golden and is 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 let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Cut into wedges and serve warm, optionally topping with extra ketchup and pickles for added flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute Bisquick with self-rising flour plus a pinch of baking powder if needed.
- For a lower fat version, use lean ground beef and reduced-fat cheddar cheese.
- Adding diced pickles or mustard to the beef mixture can enhance the cheeseburger flavor.
- Allowing the pie to cool slightly helps the slices hold together better when serving.
- This recipe can be doubled for a larger family or potluck gathering using a bigger baking dish.
