Impossible (EASY!) Cheeseburger Pie

If you have some ground beef/onion browned ahead of time,....I think a very young cook could make this!

Below:  Instead of putting the 1/2 cup grated cheese IN the pie, I sprinkled white cheddar cheese (extra sharp by Cabot) on top just as soon as I removed it from the oven.  This way, if there is someone who does not want cheese on their portion, it can more easily be accomplished.

Yield:  Six 'hamburger pie' slices.

 

I've had this recipe for what seems like 'forever', and I think it came from the back of a Bisquick® mix.  In checking, I see this recipe is still 'out there' in the world of recipes.  With a tossed green salad, this makes for the start of a quickly put together meal.   I've already added canned/frozen corn to the hamburger/onion layer, and that was good, too.

If you don't have Bisquick® on hand, there are many websites with information on making up a batch of your own.  For example, take your pick:  https://www.google.com/search?q=substitute+bisquick&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7GWYA

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 lb. lean ground beef, browned and drained
• 1 large onion (1 cup of chopped), fried with ground beef.
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 or 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup Original Bisquick® mix
• 1 cup milk
• 2 eggs

DIRECTIONS:

• Heat oven to 400° F.  Spray 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray. 
• In 10-inch skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned; drain.  Stir in salt. 

•  Spread in pie plate.   Sprinkle evenly with cheese.*
• In small bowl, stir remaining ingredients with fork or whisk until well blended. Pour over hamburger/cheese mixture in pie plate.



• Bake about 25 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

Makes 6 servings.

*Alternate way:  Instead of putting the 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese over the hamburger/onion layer, I waited until it came out of the oven to put it (cheese) on top; then returned it to the oven for just a minute or two so it could melt.
