Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking your cheeseburger pie.
Cook Beef Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the ground beef with the finely chopped onions and minced garlic (if using) until the beef is browned and onions are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Season Beef: Season the cooked beef and onion mixture with salt and pepper. Add ketchup or mustard now if you prefer, mixing well to combine flavors.
Prepare Pie Dish: Grease a 9-inch pie dish thoroughly. Spread the beef mixture evenly across the bottom of the dish, then sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Mix Egg Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and Bisquick mix until the batter is smooth without lumps.
Assemble & Bake: Pour the egg and Bisquick batter evenly over the beef and cheese layers in the pie dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and set. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
Rest and Serve: Let the pie rest for a few minutes after baking to let flavors settle. Slice into portions and garnish with your choice of toppings such as pickles, lettuce, ketchup, or mustard. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based meat alternatives can be used as healthier or dietary substitutions.
Adding garlic is optional but enhances the flavor of the beef mixture.
Bisquick mix can be replaced with a homemade baking mix for a more natural ingredient option.
Use larger eggs for a fluffier crust batter if desired.
Dairy-free milk alternatives like almond milk work well for those who are lactose intolerant.
Adjust seasoning according to taste; additional herbs or spices like paprika can be added for extra flavor.
Letting the pie rest after baking helps it hold together better when slicing.
