  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Spray a 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Cook the Beef and Onion Mixture

  1. In a 10-inch skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat.
  2. Stir occasionally and cook for 8-10 minutes until the beef is browned and fully cooked.
  3. Drain any excess fat, then stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt for seasoning.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

  1. Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly into the prepared pie plate.
  2. Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese over the beef layer.

Step 4: Prepare the Bisquick Mixture

  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine:
    • 1/2 cup Original Bisquick™ mix
    • 1 cup milk
    • 2 eggs
  2. Stir with a fork or whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

Step 5: Add the Bisquick Topping

  • Pour the Bisquick mixture evenly over the beef and cheese in the pie plate.

Step 6: Bake the Pie

  1. Place the pie plate in the preheated oven.
  2. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Serve

  • Let the pie rest for a few minutes after baking to set.
  • Slice into wedges and serve hot.
  • Optional: Pair with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.

Tips and Variations

  • Add some spice: Sprinkle in some crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Make it Italian: Swap Cheddar cheese for mozzarella and add Italian seasoning to the beef mixture for a more pizza-like flavor.
  • Add toppings: Incorporate sliced mushrooms, diced bell peppers, or cooked bacon bits for a fun twist.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven for best results.
