Cheeseburger Pie!

Daily Tidbit:    We found the recipe for "Cheeseburger Pie" on our large box of Bisquick last year and decided to try it out and we all fell in love with it.  Of course I tweaked it a bit by adding lots of Veggies (Peas, Zucchini, & Beans tonight, but I have also made it with Corn & Carrots too).  I enjoy taking a yummy recipe like this and making it just a touch more healthy for me and my family; that way we get the best of both worlds!

Here is the official Bisquick recipe:

You can see my pic and their pic are a bit different!  We use less cheese and more Veggies!

Cheeseburger Pie Recipe: 
We found this recipe on our large box of Bisquick called "Cheeseburger Pie" that we decided to try, tweaking it a bit by adding lots of Veggies!

Preheat Oven to 400 degrees.

Brown 1 pound of 93% lean Ground Beef , add 1/2 White Onion, 1 cup of Peas,  and 1 cup of some other Veggie (tonight I used 1/2 cup diced Zucchini & 1/2 cup Kidney Beans), cooking until hot.  Add salt to taste.  Transfer to an oven safe, greased pie plate or casserole dish.  Top with 1/2 packed cup shredded Cheddar Cheese.  In a separate bowl mix 1/2 cup of Bisquick, 2 eggs and 1 cup of Fat Free Milk.  Once mixed, pour on top of Beef, Veggies & Cheese and put into oven for 20-25 minutes.
