Ingredients
Beef Mixture
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Topping
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup milk
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup biscuit or pancake mix
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400 °F (200 °C) to prepare it for baking the pie later.
- Cook Ground Beef and Onion: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the chopped onion until the meat is fully cooked and the onions are softened. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
- Assemble Pie Base: Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly in a pie dish, creating a uniform layer.
- Add Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly over the beef layer to add savory cheesiness.
- Prepare Biscuit Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and biscuit or pancake mix until smooth and fully combined.
- Pour Topping Over Pie: Carefully pour the milk and biscuit mixture over the beef and cheese layers in the pie dish, ensuring it covers the filling evenly.
- Bake the Pie: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the topping turns a beautiful golden brown and is cooked through.
Notes
- For an authentic cheeseburger flavor, add diced pickles to the beef mixture before baking.
- Serve with a drizzle of ketchup or mustard on top or on the side for extra tanginess.
- Use biscuit mix or pancake mix interchangeably depending on availability and texture preference.
- You can substitute cheddar with other melting cheeses like Monterey Jack or Colby for variation.
