Impossible Cheeseburger Pie!!!

Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef Mixture

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and chopped onions.
2. Cook until the beef is fully browned and the onions are soft (about 6-8 minutes). Drain excess fat.
3. Stir in garlic powder, mustard, ketchup, salt, and pepper.
4. Simmer for 1-2 minutes so the flavors blend.

Step 3: Assemble the Bottom Layer

• Spread the beef mixture evenly in the bottom of your prepared pie dish.
• Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef.

Step 4: Make the “Impossible” Batter

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
2. Add the milk and eggs. Whisk until smooth and lump-free.
3. The batter should be thin — like pancake batter.

Step 5: Pour and Bake

• Slowly pour the batter over the beef and cheese. It will seep into the layers and create a crust as it bakes — that’s the magic!
• Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Rest and Serve

• Let the pie rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the layers to firm up and makes serving easier.
• Cut into wedges like a real pie and serve with ketchup, pickles, or a side salad.

🧀 Optional Add-Ons & Variations

• Add pickles: Mix chopped pickles into the beef for an extra burger-like flavor.
• Make it spicy: Add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the batter.
• Use different cheese: Try Monterey Jack, Swiss, or a mix for a twist.
• Low-carb version: Use almond flour instead of regular flour and reduce the milk slightly.
