Step 2: Create the Pie Base
- Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly across the bottom.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer. This creates a gooey layer of flavor that melts into the meat.
Step 3: Mix the Topping
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, biscuit mix, mayonnaise (or sour cream), and melted butter.
- The mixture should resemble pancake batter—smooth but slightly thick.
- Pour this mixture gently over the beef and cheese in the pie dish, making sure to cover it evenly.
Step 4: Add the Final Cheese Layer
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top of the batter.
- For extra Southern flair, you can also add a few pickled jalapeño slices or crumbled bacon here.
Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the pie for 25–30 minutes, or until the topping is puffed, golden brown, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the pie rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to set and makes for neater slices.
Serving Suggestions
Serve each slice warm, paired with:
- A crisp green salad for freshness.
- Southern sides like mac and cheese, fried okra, or coleslaw.
- A drizzle of ketchup or a dollop of homemade burger sauce for authenticity.
