Ingredients

You probably have most of these already in your kitchen. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
• 1 pound ground beef
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Ground black pepper, to taste
• Garlic powder, to taste (optional but recommended!)
• 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
• ½ cup Original Bisquick mix (or all-purpose flour)
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 large eggs

How to Make Pioneer Woman’s Cheeseburger Pie

Let’s get this pie in the oven, shall we?

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Grease a 9-inch glass pie plate with vegetable oil or nonstick spray.
3. In a large skillet, sauté the onions in a little oil until they’re soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
4. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up as you go—this should take about 10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
5. Season the beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
6. Spread the beef mixture evenly in the greased pie plate.
7. Top with shredded cheddar, making sure it covers the beef evenly.
8. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Bisquick mix, milk, and eggs until smooth.
9. Gently pour the batter over the beef and cheese layers in the pie dish, making sure it’s evenly distributed.

10. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.

That’s it! Serve hot and dig in.
