Ham And Cheddar Skillet Pie
A hearty skillet pie combining ham, cheddar, green pepper, and onion in a fluffy biscuit batter, perfect for breakfast or brunch with bold flavors and satisfying textures.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together Bisquick, milk, salt, pepper, and eggs until slightly lumpy.
- Stir in cooked ham, chopped onion, and chopped green pepper.
- Pour the batter into a greased skillet and cook until set and golden on top.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier texture, beat the eggs separately before adding them to the mixture. If you don’t have Bisquick, you can make a homemade version using flour, baking powder, and salt. Feel free to swap the green pepper with spinach or use different types of cheese like Monterey Jack for a twist. This dish is versatile, much like other American recipes that focus on quick, hearty meals.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the skillet pie warm, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color. It pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad, such as Joan's Broccoli Salad, or a side of fruit for a balanced meal. This dish can also be enjoyed as a hearty breakfast or brunch option, making it incredibly versatile.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a skillet over low heat until warmed through, or microwave for about 30 seconds. For best results, avoid reheating multiple times to maintain texture and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of meat in this skillet pie?
Absolutely! This recipe is very adaptable. You can substitute cooked bacon, sausage, or even leftover chicken for the ham. Just make sure the meat is fully cooked before adding it to the batter, as it will only cook minimally in the skillet.
How do I know when the skillet pie is done cooking?
The pie is done when the edges are golden brown and the center is set. You can test it by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. Cooking times may vary based on your stove, so keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking.
Can I freeze the ham and cheddar skillet pie?
Yes, you can freeze the skillet pie! Allow it to cool completely, then wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. It will keep for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm in the oven or microwave.
