Haha. Some really hated this recipe. Some thought it was 'bland'. Well duh. If you treat this as more than a concept recipe you are probably going to be disappointed. After all who eats PLAIN cheeseburgers? (My little cousin but that's besides the point.) I dressed this as I would my regular burgers. Layers were: hamburger (seasoned with garlic and onion powder) crumbled bacon raw onions (mm crunchy) chopped dill pickles (trust me) cheese homemade buttermilk biscuit (dough that I had in the fridge). When it was cooked I plated it on top of whole leaf lettuce would have added tomatoes if I had 'em and thousand island dressing. It was tasty casserole-y and cheeseburger-y. Get out there and experiment. Recipes are not set in stone. (Unless it is creme brulee I'm pretty sure that's set in stone somewhere... in France.) Thanks for a good start to a decent supper.
I have been making this since I first saw it on the Bisquick box. Like other reviewers I add more seasoning to the beef such as a pack of taco or chili mix. I also add a can of black beans and a small can of chopped green chilies to the meat mixture. I also use a combination of shredded cheeses and put a layer of diced tomatoes in between the meat and the cheese. This is a very easy and quick meal.
I make this about once a month and my kids just love it. I am always seeking to find what can be added and one of mine and my husbands favorites is a can of mushrooms green pepper and swiss cheese. I have to make two for my large family and make one with American cheese bacon tomato and onion and when it comes out of the oven top with shredded lettuce. This is my children's favorite way. I love this dinner served with season curly fires or tater tots. I also make the morning of and keep refrigerated until cooked. This is a GREAT and healthy dinner to make on a snap. Just Love It.
Quick easy and very adaptable. I used ground turkey and browned it with a half package of onion soup mix along with the onions. I also mixed cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Great for a last minute rush meal! UPDATE Just for the heck of it I tried this again tonight w/ sloppy joe mix in the meat... Mmmmm an equally delish. variety!!!
My mother used to make this all the time and she would do the same add this here there to our liking. She would also use other bisquick recipes too. Very helpful to a single widowed mom of two small children it was a keeper for her tight schedule better than fast food or boxed dinners! TY for reposting this as this is fond memories and surely be served at my table!
Fool-proof and tasty. I cut down the onions by half and chopped them finely to make the recipe more kid friendly and then squirted a layer of ketchup between the burger and cheese layer which gave it a very nice flavor. I'm giving it five stars not because it's exceptional but because it's tastes good and is VERY easy to make.
I forgot the first rule of recipe tryout: Read reviews first! I made this exactly as written except I added a couple of minced garlic cloves. I should have used a little salt although I don't salt anything any more. I whisked the Bisquick with milk & eggs & it was very runny. Finished dish was a little bland improved with ketchup & while the Bisquick did creep into all the nooks & crannies it tasted under-cooked. The second time I made this I cut the milk to 1/3 C. & added 3 eggs. I also placed 1/2 ground beef in pie pan added the cheese then remaining meat. Baked it for 20 minutes added more cheese to the top & returned it to oven to finish. I also added salt this time. Perfection! This is now in my permanent rotation of meals.
This was very easy and fairly quick to put together. We really enjoyed it. If you like spicy or hot you'll need to add something to 'spice' it up. We're not much of spicy food people so this fit the bill for us.
Very easy and economical. I added fresh garlic & a jalapeno minced while cooking beef. I added about 2 tbls. of taco seasoning on top of meat before I spread the cheese. Added worcheshire sauce to bisquick mixture. Served it with a can of refried beans. Good meal......
I was asked by all members of the fmaily not to make this again. It was okay but very unflavorful (if that is a word?). I added extra cheese and about 1/4 of a jar of pasta sauce to the meat since it was in the fridge and needed to be used and I was hoping it would jazz it up a bit-not really...I have had good luck with other impossible pies in the past but this one won't be made again...sorry.
