Equipment

  • Large skillet for browning the beef and onions
  • 9-inch pie plate greased
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Box grater (optional), if shredding cheese from a block
  • Rubber spatula
  • Handheld meat chopper (optional) for breaking up ground beef

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean ground beef 450g, at least 80% lean
  • 1 medium yellow onion about 1 cup or 150g, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese 170g, shredded, divided
  • 1/2 cup Original Bisquick baking mix 60g
  • 1 cup whole milk 240ml
  • 2 large eggs

Optional Toppings

  • diced tomatoes for serving
  • shredded lettuce for serving
  • chopped dill pickles for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a 9-inch pie plate with butter or cooking spray.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and onion for 8-10 minutes until browned and onion is soft. Add garlic during the last minute.
  • Drain excess grease, then stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, ketchup, and mustard until well coated.
  • Spread beef mixture evenly in the prepared pie plate and top with 1 cup of shredded cheddar.
  • In a bowl, whisk together Bisquick, milk, and eggs until smooth. Pour over the beef layer, spreading to the edges. Do not stir.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Add remaining cheese during the last 3 minutes.
  • Let rest for 8-10 minutes before slicing into 8 wedges. Top with tomatoes, lettuce, or pickles if desired.

Notes

  • Drain the beef thoroughly to avoid a greasy bottom layer – this is the most common reason for sogginess.
  • Shred your own cheddar from a block for smoother melting; pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking starch.
  • Use whole milk for the richest, most tender crust.
  • Let the pie rest before slicing so it holds its shape cleanly.
  • For a Bacon Cheeseburger Pie, stir in 1/2 cup of cooked crumbled bacon with the beef.
  • For a Tex-Mex version, swap the seasonings for taco seasoning and use pepper jack cheese.
  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze individual slices for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes covered with foil, or microwave individual slices for 60-90 seconds.
