Ingredients
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup onion, diced
Dairy
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
Pantry
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ cup Bisquick mix
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the pie.
- Prepare Pie Pan: Grease a 9-inch pie pan thoroughly and set it aside to prevent sticking during baking.
- Cook Beef and Onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the diced onions until the beef is fully cooked and onions are tender. Drain off any excess grease to reduce fat content.
- Assemble Base Layer: Evenly spread the cooked ground beef mixture across the bottom of the prepared pie pan, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef.
- Mix Batter: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, Bisquick, and eggs until just combined to create a smooth batter.
- Top and Bake: Pour the batter carefully over the ground beef and cheese layer in the pie pan. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the pie is set.
- Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a crispier top, you can broil the pie for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end of baking – watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Feel free to add additional veggies such as chopped bell peppers or mushrooms in the beef mixture for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Use reduced-fat cheese and milk to lighten the dish if desired.
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set further for easier slicing.
