Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the beef mixture for added flavor and nutrition. If you're short on time, ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for the beef. For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free baking mix instead of Bisquick. Make sure to drain the beef well to avoid a soggy pie.
