Ingredients
-
1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
-
1 pound ground beef
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
Ground black pepper, to taste
-
Garlic powder, to taste (optional)
-
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
-
1/2 cup Original Bisquick mix (or substitute with all-purpose flour)
-
1 cup whole milk
-
2 large eggs
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch glass pie plate with a bit of vegetable oil or nonstick spray. Set aside.
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion in a small amount of oil for about 3 minutes until softened.
-
Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked through—about 10 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
-
Season the beef mixture with salt, pepper, and a dash of garlic powder if using.
-
Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pie plate.
-
Sprinkle the grated Cheddar cheese evenly over the beef layer.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Bisquick mix (or flour), milk, and eggs until smooth and well blended.
-
Pour the batter over the beef and cheese layers, spreading it gently to cover the filling.
-
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy with a salad, pickles, or your favorite burger sauce.
