Ever get in a dinner rut? I know I do. The same 5-10 dinner recipes on rotation week after week? Sometimes because they are quick and easy and other times just out of necessity. So there I was. Staring at a pound of ground beef. What do I make? Stick to the routine or change it up? I say change is good. Now I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this recipe on the back of a pancake batter box years ago. But I don’t have any pancake batter mix, so I decided to make my own. But if you have some on hand, by all means feel free to substitute and save yourself a few steps.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons cold butter
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cooked bacon slices, chopped into small pieces (optional, if you leave out then you are making cheeseburger pie)
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven at 400 degrees. Spray a 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray.
- In a skillet, cook ground beef and onions until beef is browned and onions are translucent. 8-10 minutes. Drain fat from skillet. Add Worcestershire sauce to meat and mix.
- Spread ground beef and onions onto prepared pie plate.
- Using either a food processor or hand mixer, mix flour, sugar, salt and butter together until it forms into small pebbles of dough. (If you have pancake mix, use 1/4 cup and go to step 5.)
- Add milk and eggs. Mixing until combined.
- Pour into pie plate with meat mixture.
- Top with cheese and bacon pieces.
- Bake for 23-25 minutes. Or until inserted toothpick in center comes out clean.
- Serve with all your favorite cheeseburger sides.
This seriously looks good! We’ve been meaning to make burgers and for some reason end up making easy recipes which have been made several times already. (Frankly, I want something new!) hopefully my husband says yes lol

This looks pretty easy to make Joann, being a vegetarian I would not make it for myself but your photos make the dish look nice for meat lovers.

Thanks Sue. My next post will be a rice and vegetable dish. So hopefully one you can try by substituting the chicken broth with vegetable broth. 🙂
