- 2 large eggs
For Serving

Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan to prevent sticking.
- Cook Meat Mixture: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook while stirring and breaking up the meat until the onion becomes translucent and beef is browned thoroughly.
- Season the Meat: Stir in ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Assemble Pie Base: Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared pie plate evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Prepare and Add Custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, Bisquick baking mix, and eggs until smooth. Slowly pour this custard mixture evenly over the meat and cheese layer in the pie plate.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the custard has set completely.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite burger toppings such as ketchup, mustard, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes.
Notes
- Use 90% lean ground beef for a balanced fat content and flavor.
- Bisquick baking mix acts as the base for the savory custard that holds the pie together.
- Feel free to add other burger toppings like pickles, onions, or cheese slices to customize your pie.
- Ensure the custard is poured slowly and evenly to avoid disturbing the layers.
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
