Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a pie dish to prevent sticking.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with chopped onions until the meat is browned and the onions are soft.
- Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Stir in seasoning salt, garlic powder, and, if desired, a can of drained Rotel tomatoes for additional flavor.
- Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together baking mix, milk, and eggs until smooth. If you prefer an egg substitute, use baking powder and mayonnaise instead.
- Pour the batter over the beef mixture in the pie dish, ensuring it covers the meat completely.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Top the baked pie with shredded cheese and allow it to melt. Add toppings like chopped dill pickles, lettuce, and a drizzle of Thousand Island dressing for a cheeseburger-like experience.
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm, and feel free to adjust toppings to your taste.
