For Serving

Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- Cook the Meat Mixture: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook while stirring and breaking up the beef, until the onion is translucent and the meat is thoroughly browned.
- Season the Meat: Stir in the ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook the mixture for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

- Pour Batter over Meat: Slowly and evenly pour the batter mixture over the meat and cheese in the pie pan, ensuring it covers the filling evenly.
- Bake the Pie: Place the pie pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite burger toppings such as ketchup, mustard, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes.
Notes
- Use 90% lean ground beef for less fat but good flavor.
- Bisquick baking mix acts as a quick and easy crust/batter—do not substitute with regular flour without adjusting liquid.
- Be careful not to overbake; the pie should be golden but still moist inside.
- For extra cheesiness, sprinkle additional cheddar on top halfway through baking.
- Customize the toppings to your liking—pickles, onions, or jalapeños make great add-ons.
