Classic Cheeseburger Pie (Printable Version)

Savory ground beef and cheddar come together beneath a golden Bisquick topping for an easy, comforting bake.

# Ingredients:

→ Meat and Aromatics

01 - 450 grams ground beef (80% lean)
02 - 1 medium onion, finely chopped (approx. 150 grams)
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

→ Seasonings and Condiments

04 - 30 milliliters ketchup
05 - 15 milliliters yellow mustard
06 - 5 grams kosher salt
07 - 2 grams freshly cracked black pepper

→ Topping and Batter

08 - 180 grams shredded sharp cheddar cheese
09 - 240 milliliters whole milk
10 - 190 grams Bisquick or all-purpose baking mix
11 - 2 large eggs

→ Other

12 - 10 milliliters neutral oil or butter for greasing

# Steps:

01 - Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and break it up using a sturdy spoon. When halfway browned, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Stir constantly until beef is fully cooked and onions become translucent, approximately 8 minutes.
02 - Remove pan from heat. Stir in ketchup, yellow mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly and allow the filling to cool for at least 5 minutes to prevent scrambling the batter in the next step.
03 - Lightly grease a 23-centimeter (9-inch) pie dish with oil or butter. Spread the cooled beef mixture evenly across the base, pressing lightly without compacting. Evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer.
04 - In a large bowl, whisk together whole milk, Bisquick, and eggs until smooth and free of lumps. Pour the batter gently over the cheese and beef, allowing it to settle evenly.
05 - Place the dish into an oven preheated to 200°C (400°F). Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the top is puffed and golden brown and the center is set without wobble. Remove and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.

# Notes:

01 - Allow the beef mixture to cool before adding the batter to maintain distinct layers for clean slices.
02 - Grate your own cheddar cheese for superior melt quality and flavor.
03 - Resting the pie after baking helps slices hold their shape and improves presentation.
