Ingredients
Scale
Meat Mixture:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- optional: chopped pickles or cooked bacon for extra flavor
Cheese Layer:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Batter:
- 1/2 cup Bisquick baking mix
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
Other:
- cooking spray or butter (for greasing the pie dish)
- optional toppings: pickles, ketchup, and mustard
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook Meat and Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion together until the beef is fully browned and the onion is tender. Drain any excess grease and season the mixture with salt and black pepper. You may also add optional cooked bacon or chopped pickles at this stage for added flavor.
- Assemble Meat Layer: Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the meat layer to create a cheesy topping.
- Prepare Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Bisquick baking mix, milk, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour Batter: Carefully pour the batter over the layered beef and cheese in the pie dish, spreading it evenly to cover the filling completely.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the batter is fully cooked.
- Rest and Serve: Allow the pie to rest for 5 minutes after baking to set. Slice into 6 servings and serve warm with optional cheeseburger toppings like pickles, ketchup, and mustard.
Notes
- Add chopped pickles or cooked bacon to the meat mixture for an extra burst of flavor.

- Allow the pie to rest after baking to help it set and make slicing easier.
- Serve with classic cheeseburger condiments for the full flavor experience.
