Method

 

1. Preheat your oven to $400^{circ}text{F}$ ($200^{circ}text{C}$).
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. Drain any excess fat.
3. Stir in the salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup. Mix well to combine.
4. Transfer the beef mixture into a 9-inch pie plate and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.
5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and Bisquick mix until the mixture is smooth.
6. Pour the Bisquick mixture evenly over the beef and cheese in the pie plate. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Ensure the ground beef is well drained before seasoning. The pie is done when the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack for a kick. Pair with a fresh green salad or coleslaw to balance the richness.
