Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Custard Mixture
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup Bisquick or other all-purpose baking mix
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
Optional Toppings
- Pickle slices
- Diced tomatoes
- Extra cheese
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish to prevent sticking.
- Cook Beef Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and finely chopped onion until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess fat, then season with salt and pepper. Evenly spread the beef mixture into the prepared pie dish.
- Add Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the ground beef in the pie dish.
- Prepare Custard: In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, Bisquick baking mix, yellow mustard, and ketchup until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour Custard Over Pie: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the beef and cheese layers in the pie dish.
- Bake the Pie: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with optional toppings like pickle slices, diced tomatoes, or extra cheese if desired, then serve warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try using pepper jack cheese or a cheddar blend instead of just cheddar.
- Adding cooked bacon or sautéed mushrooms can add a tasty twist to the pie.
- Leftovers reheat very well and make a great next-day lunch or dinner.
