Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon savory Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs lightly whisked
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese coarsely shredded
- 1 large yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 pound of 80/20 ground chuck
- 1 cup whole dairy milk
- 1/2 cup original Bisquick mix
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate with a non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large sauté pan set over medium heat, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat is browned and fully cooked through, approximately 10 minutes. Drain any rendered fat, then transfer the mixture evenly into the greased pie plate.
- In a separate mixing bowl, blend together the Bisquick mix, milk, and eggs until fully incorporated. Carefully pour this batter over the beef filling, ensuring even distribution.
- Sprinkle the grated cheddar uniformly over the top.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–40 minutes, or until the top achieves a golden hue and the center is firm. Remove from the oven and allow the pie to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For an evenly baked pie with a golden finish, bake uncovered to promote proper air circulation.
To serve more people, double the ingredients and bake in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Mini versions can be made using greased muffin tins: layer a tablespoon of batter, 1/4 cup of meat, then another tablespoon of batter. Bake about 30 minutes, rest briefly, then cool an additional 10 minutes before removing.
For added flavor, consider incorporating about 6 strips of crisped, crumbled bacon into the beef layer before baking.
Customize toppings like ketchup, mustard, or pickle relish after baking to suit individual preferences.
The pie is done when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, the center is set, and the surface is golden.
