Southern Style Cheeseburger Pie

 

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Salt & black pepper, to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheddar blend)
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup baking mix (e.g., Bisquick)
• 1 Tbsp ketchup or mustard (optional, for extra burger flavor)
• Pickle slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat: Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate.
2. Cook beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown ground beef with onion (5–7 minutes). Drain excess fat. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly in the prepared pie plate.
3. Add cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly over the beef.
4. Mix the batter: In a bowl, whisk milk, eggs, and baking mix until smooth. (Whisk in ketchup or mustard if using.) Pour evenly over beef and cheese.
5. Bake: Bake 25–30 minutes, until golden and set in the center (a knife inserted near the center should come out clean).
6. Serve: Cool 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, and pickle slices if desired.
