Pioneer Woman Cheeseburger Pie bakes seasoned ground beef, onion, sharp cheddar, and a simple milk-and-egg batter into one sliceable 9-inch dinner. The batter settles around the filling in the oven, creating structure without a rolled pastry crust.
The pie serves 6 in 35 minutes, with 10 minutes of preparation and 25 minutes of cooking. A five-minute rest after baking allows the center to firm before cutting.
Pioneer Woman Cheeseburger Pie Ingredients
For the filling, use 1 large diced yellow onion, about 1 cup, 1 pound lean ground beef, ½ teaspoon salt, freshly ground pepper and garlic powder to taste, and 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar.
The batter uses ½ cup Bisquick baking mix, 1 cup whole milk, and exactly 2 large eggs. If replacing Bisquick, combine ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt as the specified alternative.
