A classic American comfort dish, this cheeseburger pie features a savory layer of seasoned ground beef topped with a golden, airy crust and melted sharp cheddar cheese. Using a clever leavening technique, the batter separates during baking to create a distinct, protein-packed meal that delivers all the flavors of a classic cheeseburger in a simple, fuss-free format perfect for busy weeknights.
1 lb (450g) lean ground beef (85/15 ratio)
1 cup (113g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup (240ml) whole milk
1/2 cup (60g) baking mix (Bisquick)
2 large eggs
Sea salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Brown the ground beef in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until no pink remains.
Drain the excess rendered fat from the skillet.
Season the beef with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread the cooked beef evenly into the bottom of a prepared pie dish or skillet.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and baking mix until smooth.
Pour the batter mixture evenly over the beef and cheese layer.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Let the pie rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Ensure you drain the rendered fat thoroughly to maintain the integrity of the crust. Serve with a side of ketchup or mustard to enhance the cheeseburger flavor profile.
