Ingredients
Scale
1 pre-made, unbaked 9-inch pie crust
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or Bisquick mix for an ‘Impossible’ style)
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup ketchup (for topping)
1 tablespoon yellow mustard (for topping)
Optional: 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is fully browned. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir the salt and pepper into the cooked beef mixture. Spread the seasoned beef evenly into the bottom of the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour (or Bisquick), milk, eggs, and dry mustard powder until the mixture is smooth. This forms the batter that creates the fluffy crust.
Slowly pour the batter mixture over the beef and cheese layer in the pie plate, distributing it as evenly as possible.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Mix the ketchup and yellow mustard together. Drizzle or dollop this sauce over the top of the hot pie before slicing. Add chopped pickles if desired.
Notes
If you use Bisquick mix instead of flour and milk, follow the package directions for the liquid ratio needed to create the batter. This creates the ‘Impossible Cheeseburger Pie’ texture.
For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder when seasoning the beef.
Serve this hearty ground beef dinner with a side of french fries or a simple green salad.
