Southern Style Cheeseburger Pie (Printable Version)

Hearty Southern pie with seasoned beef, cheddar cheese, and a golden crust, perfect for quick, comforting meals.

# Ingredients:

→ Meat and Aromatics

01 - 450 grams lean ground beef
02 - 130 grams chopped onion (red or yellow)

→ Seasonings and Sauces

03 - 5 grams kosher salt
04 - 2 grams freshly ground black pepper
05 - 15 milliliters Worcestershire sauce
06 - 30 milliliters thick ketchup

→ Cheese

07 - 115 grams shredded sharp cheddar cheese

→ Crust and Topping

08 - 240 milliliters whole milk
09 - 2 large eggs
10 - 220 grams Bisquick mix

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 200°C. Allow it to fully reach temperature to ensure even baking and a golden crust.
02 - Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion, stirring frequently and breaking up the meat. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes until beef is browned and onion is translucent. Drain excess grease.
03 - Stir kosher salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup into the cooked beef and onion until evenly combined and glossy.
04 - Transfer the seasoned beef evenly into a 23 cm pie dish, pressing gently to form a uniform layer reaching the edges.
05 - Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot beef layer to begin melting into the mixture.
06 - In a bowl, whisk together whole milk, eggs, and Bisquick mix until smooth and slightly frothy, with no lumps.
07 - Slowly pour the Bisquick batter over the cheese and beef in the pie dish, tilting gently if necessary to cover evenly.
08 - Place the pie on the middle oven rack and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is puffed and deep golden brown. A skewer inserted in the centre should come out clean.
09 - Allow the pie to rest for 5 to 8 minutes before slicing into wedges to ensure clean cuts and proper setting.

# Notes:

01 - For the lightest crust, whisk the Bisquick batter thoroughly until completely smooth. Using freshly shredded cheese enhances melt and flavor. Letting the pie rest before cutting prevents messy slices.
