Cheeseburger Pie


This recipe has been on the Bisquick mix box for years, but I had never tried it.  Imagine my surprise when I finally did, made a few tweaks, and found that it tastes just like a cheeseburger—right down to the pickles! 


Cheeseburger Pie

1 lb. lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 tsp. salt
Black pepper to taste
Garlic powder to taste
Onion powder to taste
Chopped dill pickles
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese + more for topping
1/2 cup baking mix (Bisquick, Jiffy, etc.)
1 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
Condiments:  ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, barbecue sauce, bacon, etc.

Heat oven to 400 degrees.  Spray a deep-dish pie plate with cooking spray.  In a 10-inch skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until beef is brown.  Drain, and stir in salt.  Stir in desired amounts of pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.  Spread in pie plate.

Cover beef layer with desired amount of chopped dill pickles.  (I use 1.5 cups.)  Sprinkle with one cup cheddar cheese. 

In a small bowl, stir the baking mix, milk, and eggs with a fork or wire whisk until blended.  Pour into pie plate.

Bake about 25 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.  Top with desired amount of extra cheddar cheese and bake for a few minutes more until the cheese melts.
