Simple Staples for a Flavorful Cheeseburger Pie

This cheeseburger pie comes together with a handful of pantry staples and a few fresh ingredients, making it the perfect dish for busy weeknights or a cozy weekend meal. 

Chopped Onions: The onion serves as the base flavor for the dish, bringing a sweet and savory aroma to the beef mixture. As it cooks, it softens and adds depth to the overall taste, making the pie rich and flavorful.

Ground Beef: Ground beef is the heart of this recipe. It provides that classic cheeseburger flavor and texture, delivering a juicy and savory filling that holds everything together in the pie. You can use lean or regular beef, depending on your preference for a healthier or juicier pie.

Cheddar cheese: Cheddar is the cheese of choice here, with its sharp and tangy flavor that melts beautifully into the beef. The cheese adds richness and creaminess to the filling, helping to bind the ingredients together while giving the pie a satisfying cheesy topping.

Original Bisquick mix: Bisquick (or flour) acts as the binder in this dish, creating a light and fluffy crust that sets off the hearty filling. It absorbs some of the juices from the beef while baking, giving the pie a firm yet tender texture that contrasts beautifully with the savory filling.

Whole milk: The milk is a key component in the filling, providing moisture and a creamy consistency to the pie. It helps to loosen the mixture and ensures the pie doesn’t turn out dry. Whole milk, with its fat content, adds a richness that enhances the overall flavor and texture.

Eggs: Eggs help set the filling of the pie, binding all the ingredients together and providing structure. As the pie bakes, the eggs firm up the filling, so each slice holds together perfectly. They also add a bit of richness and fluffiness to the pie’s texture.

Salt: Salt is a flavor enhancer that elevates all the other ingredients. A pinch of salt helps bring out the natural flavors of the beef, cheese, and onions, ensuring that every bite is perfectly seasoned. You can always adjust the salt to your personal preference.

Ground black pepper: Pepper adds a mild heat and a touch of spice to balance out the richness of the cheese and beef. It’s an essential seasoning that helps to create depth of flavor without overpowering the dish.

Garlic powder: Garlic powder adds a savory, aromatic note to the beef filling. While optional, this ingredient brings a comforting, familiar flavor that complements the other ingredients and enhances the overall taste of the pie.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pie Dish: First things first—preheat your oven to 400°F and grease a 9-inch glass pie dish with a little vegetable oil.

2. Cook the Beef: Grab a large skillet, drizzle in some oil, and cook your onions for about 3 minutes until they soften up. Then, toss in the ground beef and cook for around 10 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns.

3. Season the Beef: Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess fat and season it with a pinch of salt and pepper. If you like a little extra flavor, go ahead and add some garlic powder!

4. Add Cheddar Cheese: Next spread the seasoned beef mixture evenly across the bottom of your greased pie dish. Sprinkle a good amount of cheddar cheese on top, making sure to cover the beef layer.

5. Combine the Batter with Beef Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the Bisquick (or flour), milk, and eggs until smooth. Pour this over the beef and cheese, letting it spread evenly.

7. Enjoy the Deliciousness: Once it’s done, slice it up and dig in! Enjoy your delicious creation!
