Ingredients:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10)
  • 1 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.5 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 cup biscuit mix (such as Bisquick)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie plate.
  2. Sauté the beef and onion in a large skillet over medium high heat for about 8 minutes. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent.
  3. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Drain the excess fat from the skillet carefully.
  5. Spread the beef mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared pie plate.
  6. Layer the shredded cheese directly over the warm beef.
  7. Whisk the biscuit mix, milk, and eggs in a medium bowl until just combined. The batter should smell slightly sweet and yeasty.
  8. Pour the batter over the cheese and beef.
  9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the center rack. Watch for the top to turn golden brown and firm.
  10. Test with a knife by inserting it into the center; it should come out clean. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow the structure to set.
