How to Make Pizza Burger Pie

Ingredients

1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz)
1/2 cup Original Bisquick™ mix
1 cup milk
2 eggs
Cooking spray (for greasing the pie plate)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray.
In a 10-inch skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally until the beef is browned. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the salt and spread the beef mixture evenly in the prepared pie plate. Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese over the beef.
In a small bowl, mix the Bisquick mix, milk, and eggs with a fork or whisk until everything is well blended.
Pour the mixture over the beef and cheese in the pie plate.
Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of the pie comes out clean.

How to Serve Pizza Burger Pie

Once baked, let the Pizza Burger Pie sit for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a side salad or some fresh veggies. You can also add your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or marinara for extra flavor.

How to Store Pizza Burger Pie

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the pie, wrapped tightly, for up to 2 months. Just thaw it overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Tips to Make Pizza Burger Pie

Use lean ground beef to keep it healthier. You can also substitute turkey or chicken if you prefer.
Add extras like bell peppers, mushrooms, or Italian seasoning to the beef mixture to give it more flavor.
Make sure your cheese is shredded for even melting and better texture.

Variation (If Any)

You can change up the cheese to use mozzarella or a pizza blend for a different taste. For a vegetarian option, try using plant-based meat substitutes or load up on veggies instead of beef.
