Ingredients

Scale

For the Meat Mixture

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 pound 90% lean ground beef
  • 1 sweet onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

For the Topping

  • 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup Bisquick baking mix
  • 2 large eggs

For Serving

  • Ketchup
  • Mustard
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Diced tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Cook the Beef Mixture: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook while stirring and breaking up the meat until the onion becomes translucent and the beef is fully browned.
  3. Season the Meat: Stir in the ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes to combine the flavors well.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Pour the cooked beef mixture into the prepared pie pan. Evenly top the beef with the shredded cheddar cheese. Set this aside for the topping preparation.
  5. Prepare the Custard Topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, Bisquick baking mix, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
  6. Pour the Topping: Slowly and evenly pour the milk and Bisquick mixture over the meat and cheese layer in the pie pan, ensuring it covers the filling.
  7. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
  8. Serve: Let the pie cool slightly before serving. Serve slices with your favorite burger toppings such as ketchup, mustard, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes for a complete cheeseburger experience.

Notes

  • Use 90% lean ground beef to reduce excess grease while keeping flavor.
  • Bisquick baking mix can be substituted with a homemade baking mix or all-purpose flour mixed with baking powder for similar results.
  • For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or some diced jalapeños to the meat mixture.
  • Leftover pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
  • Feel free to experiment with cheese varieties such as mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
