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°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar baking pan to prevent sticking.
- Cook Meat Mixture: 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 soft, about 7 minutes. Drain any 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 thoroughly to coat the meat evenly, then spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Prepare Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Bisquick, milk, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. This batter will act as the pie's crust and topping.
- Assemble Pie: Pour the Bisquick batter slowly over the beef and cheese layers, ensuring that it fully covers the surface to create a cohesive pie.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set. Check doneness by inserting a knife in 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, top with a drizzle of ketchup and serve with pickles for an authentic cheeseburger experience.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef (85% lean or higher) to reduce grease.
- For extra flavor, add diced pickles or mustard to the beef mixture.
- You can substitute Bisquick with self-rising flour plus baking powder in equivalent amounts.
- Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
