Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 2 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup Bisquick baking mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Sliced pickles, diced tomato, lettuce (for garnish, optional)

Equipment

  • 10-inch Ovenproof Skillet Cast iron or non-stick. Essential for one-pan cooking.
  • mixing bowls For preparing the batter.

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, cook beef, onion, and garlic over medium-high heat until beef is browned. Drain fat. Stir in ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper.
  2. Spread beef mixture evenly in the skillet. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheese over the top.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Bisquick baking mix, milk, and eggs until just combined (batter will be slightly lumpy).
  4. Pour the batter evenly over the beef and cheese layer in the skillet.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown, the center is set, and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with remaining ½ cup cheese. Let stand for 5 minutes. Garnish with optional toppings, slice, and serve.

Notes

Pro Tips: For the best flavor, use an 80/20 blend of ground beef and be sure to drain any excess grease after browning. The key to a tender topping is to mix the Bisquick batter just until combined—do not overmix. For a crispier crust, use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Let the pie rest for 5 minutes after baking for cleaner slices.
