My neighbor clipped this from a magazine in 1976 and never stopped making it, and it’s still the first thing requested at family reunions.
This Oven Baked 5-Ingredient Impossible Cheeseburger Pie bakes seasoned ground beef, chopped onions, and cheddar cheese right into a fluffy, self-forming biscuit crust. As the simple Bisquick, milk, and egg batter bakes around the savory filling, it creates an easy, retro pie that delivers all the classic flavors of a juicy cheeseburger in one slice.

Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
| Ground beef | 1 pound |
| Onion, finely chopped | 1 small |
| Shredded cheddar cheese | 1 cup |
| Bisquick baking mix | 1/2 cup |
| Milk | 1 cup |
| Eggs | 2 large |
| Cooking spray or butter | for greasing |
| Salt and black pepper | to taste |
Step-By-Step Directions:
-
Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch glass pie plate.
-
Brown beef and onion: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the meat is browned and the onion is softened. Season with salt and pepper, then drain excess fat thoroughly.
-
Fill pie plate: Spread the drained beef and onion mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared pie plate.
-
Whisk batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Bisquick baking mix, milk, and eggs until smooth.
-
Pour batter: Pour the batter evenly over the ground beef mixture, allowing it to settle down through the meat.
-
Bake: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
-
Melt cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top during the last few minutes of baking, returning the pie to the oven until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
-
Rest and serve: Allow the pie to rest for 5 minutes to set before slicing and serving.
