This Impossible Cheeseburger Pie is my childhood favorite. Super easy to make using just simple ingredients. Very comforting and takes a breeze to throw together.
INGREDIENTS :
- 3 large eggs
- 2 pounds of ground beef
- 3/4 c. baking mix (Bisquick or similar baking mix)
- 1 c. finely chopped onion
- 1 package dry onion soup mix
- 1 1/2 c. finely shredded cheese of your choice
- 1 1/2 c. milk
- 3/4 c. water
- Sliced American Cheese – optional
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
DIRECTIONS :
Step 1: Ready two pie plates. Lightly grease and set aside. Prepare the oven and preheat it to 400 degrees F.
Step 2: Place the ground beef and onions in a skillet. Cook until the meat has browned. Drain the excess grease when done.
Step 3: To the skillet with the ground beef and onion, add the onion soup mix along with the 3/4 c. water. Allow the mixture to simmer until the liquid is gone.
Step 4: Add the eggs to a mixing bowl and whisk gently. Season with salt and pepper. Then, add the milk and Bisquick mix. Beat well until the batter is evenly combined.
Step 5: In the bottom of the prepared pie plate, layer 1/4 of the meat mixture. Top with 1/4 shredded cheese followed by another layer of the meat mixture and shredded cheese. On top, evenly pour half of the Bisquick mixture.
Step 6: If desired, top with a couple of slices of American cheese.
Step 7: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is golden.
Notes:
- For thicker pie, make this in a 9 x 9-inch baking pan or a 9 x 13-inch pan for thinner pieces.
- You can swap ground beef with ground turkey or ground chicken if desired.
- For some add-in ideas, add corn (or Mexican corn), diced mixed vegetables, green peppers, garlic, ¼ cup ketchup (and 2 Tbsp. yellow mustard if desired) after browning the meat and mushrooms.
- If you love extra cheese, do not skip the American cheese! This also gives the dish a more cheeseburger delight.
- For the garnish, you can use sliced dill pickles, sliced tomato, chopped lettuce, sauteed mushrooms, etc.
