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

  1. Prepare the Filling: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart until fully cooked and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat. Add diced onions, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and optional ketchup or mustard. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onions soften and the flavors meld together.
  2. Assemble the Pie Base: Spread the meat mixture evenly in a greased 9-inch pie plate or baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the meat to cover the entire surface, ensuring every bite will have cheesy goodness.
  3. Mix the Biscuit Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the biscuit mix, milk, and egg. Stir until the dough just comes together; avoid overmixing to keep the crust tender and fluffy after baking.
  4. Add the Crust and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the cheese layer. Gently spread the dough, but do not mix it into the filling. Place the pie in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is puffed up and golden brown.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the pie rest for about 5 minutes before slicing to allow the layers to set properly. Serve warm, optionally garnished with chopped parsley, chives, ketchup, or mustard for added flavor.

Notes

  • Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and flavor compared to pre-shredded cheese.
  • You can substitute Worcestershire sauce with soy sauce or omit it for a milder taste.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the meat mixture.
  • This pie can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
