Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
Dairy and Binding Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup Bisquick mix
Vegetable:
- 1 small onion, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 400°F and lightly coat a pie dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef with diced onions, carefully draining any accumulated fat to keep the dish light.
- Incorporate taco seasoning thoroughly into the meat mixture, ensuring even flavor distribution throughout the protein.
- Transfer the seasoned beef to the prepared pie dish, creating an even, uniform layer across the bottom.
- Generously scatter shredded cheese over the meat layer, covering the surface completely.
- Whisk Bisquick, milk, and eggs in a separate bowl until achieving a smooth, lump-free consistency.
- Gently pour the Bisquick mixture over the cheese and beef, allowing it to naturally settle into the dish.
- Slide the pie into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown top and a firm center.
- Remove from oven and allow the pie to rest for 5-10 minutes, which helps set the texture and makes slicing easier.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs or additional toppings.
Notes
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a leaner, healthier alternative that still packs incredible flavor.
- For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños or sprinkle red pepper flakes into the beef mixture before baking.
- Make this dish gluten-free by using gluten-free Bisquick or a homemade alternative blend of almond flour and cornstarch.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time to create a quick weeknight meal that comes together in under 45 minutes from start to finish.
