Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 2 tbsp ketchup or mustard
Cheese Layer
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (freshly shredded recommended)
Biscuit Topping
- 2 cups Bisquick or biscuit mix
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart until fully cooked and no longer pink. Drain excess fat. Add diced onions, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and optional ketchup or mustard. Cook for 2-3 minutes until onions soften and flavors meld.
- Assemble the Pie Base: Spread the meat mixture evenly in a greased 9-inch pie plate or baking dish. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the meat to cover the entire surface.
- Mix the Biscuit Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine biscuit mix, milk, and egg. Stir until the dough just comes together, avoiding overmixing to ensure a tender crust.
- Add the Crust and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the cheese layer, gently spreading but not mixing into the filling. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuit topping is puffed and golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pie rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow layers to set. Serve with optional garnishes like chopped parsley, chives, ketchup, or mustard.
Notes
- Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting results.
- Do not overmix biscuit dough to keep the crust fluffy and tender.
- Drain ground beef well to avoid a greasy pie.
- Season the meat gradually to avoid over-salting.
- Optional: Add cooked garlic or paprika to deepen the flavor.
