-
1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)

1 pound ground beef

½ teaspoon salt

Ground black pepper, to taste
-
Garlic powder, to taste (optional)
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions
-
I start by preheating my oven to 400°F (200°C).

-
I drain any excess fat, then spread the beef mixture evenly into a greased 9-inch pie plate.
-
I sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.
-
In a bowl, I whisk together Bisquick mix, milk, and eggs until smooth, then pour it evenly over the cheese and beef.

Variations
I sometimes swap cheddar cheese for a mix of Monterey Jack and mozzarella for a different flavor. I’ve also added diced pickles or a little mustard to the beef for that extra cheeseburger kick. If I want to lighten it up, I use ground turkey instead of beef.
storage/reheating
I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I cover the pie with foil and warm it in a 350°F oven until heated through. The microwave also works for quick single servings, though the crust stays crispier when I reheat in the oven.
FAQs
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, I prepare the beef mixture in advance, refrigerate it, and assemble the pie when I’m ready to bake.
Can I freeze cheeseburger pie?
I can freeze it after baking by letting it cool completely, wrapping tightly, and storing for up to 2 months. I reheat it in the oven before serving.
Do I have to use Bisquick?
No, if I don’t have Bisquick, I make a quick mix using flour, baking powder, salt, and a little butter.
Can I add vegetables to this recipe?
Yes, I sometimes stir in chopped bell peppers or mushrooms with the onions and beef for added flavor and nutrition.
What can I serve with cheeseburger pie?
I like serving it with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables to balance out the richness.
