A savory pie combining seasoned ground beef and sweet onions encased in a flaky Bisquick crust, perfect for family dinners or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix 1 cup Bisquick and light cream well; knead 10 times on a lightly dusted board.
- Roll dough into a circle to fit a 9-inch pie pan.
- Ease the dough into the pan and fork the edges.
- Cook ground beef with sliced onions, salt, pepper, and flavor extender until beef is browned and onions are tender.
- In a bowl, beat 2 eggs and mix with 2 tablespoons Bisquick.
- Pour the beef and onion mixture into the prepared crust.
- Pour the egg mixture over the beef filling.
- Bake until the filling is set and golden on top.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding some garlic or herbs like thyme to the beef mixture. If you don't have light cream, half-and-half or whole milk can be used as substitutes. You can also use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option. Kneading the dough just until combined will help keep it tender.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this pie warm as a hearty main dish. It pairs beautifully with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. For a comforting touch, consider serving it alongside Quick 'N Easy Cabbage Casserole, which complements the flavors nicely. A dollop of sour cream can also enhance the dish.
