How To Make This Cheeseburger Pie Recipe
Follow these straightforward steps to prepare and bake the cheeseburger pie.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
Cooked ground beef and onions can be made ahead and stored in the fridge or freezer to save time when assembling the pie.
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
STEP TWO: Spray an 8-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
STEP THREE: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the diced onion, salt, black pepper, and onion powder until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent. Drain any excess fat.
PRO TIP:
Use a potato masher while cooking to break up the ground beef for an even texture.
STEP FOUR: Place half of the cooked meat mixture into the prepared pie pan.
STEP FIVE: Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar evenly over the meat.
STEP SIX: Top the cheese with the remaining meat mixture.
STEP SEVEN: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar over the top.
STEP EIGHT: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, Bisquick, milk, and garlic salt until mostly smooth; a few small lumps are fine.
STEP NINE: Pour the Bisquick-egg mixture evenly over the layered meat and cheese.
STEP TEN: Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick or knife inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is set and lightly golden.
STEP ELEVEN: Allow the pie to rest a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy.
PRO TIP:
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top before baking if you want a visual nod to a sesame seed burger bun.
