What is an impossible pie?
Impossible pies became widely known in the 1970s when recipes for a variety of different “impossibly easy” pies were printed on the back of Bisquick boxes. An impossible pie is essentially any pie, sweet or savory, made with Bisquick.
There are a ton of different versions of impossible pie: coconut, taco, etc., but this variation of impossible pie, cheeseburger pie, is a cross between a quiche (a “non-eggy” quiche) and a casserole that tastes like a cheeseburger!
Ingredients
- Beef – 80/20 ground beef is juicy, but not greasy in this dish. Use whatever beef you have, but keep in mind, if a lower fat beef is used, it will likely be drier. If you use something fattier, simply drain off excess grease.
- Onion – any onion, yellow, red, or white, will be fine. Onion is sautéed until tender with the beef, but if you love raw onion on your burgers, chop extra for garnish!
- Seasonings: Worcestershire Sauce, Soy Sauce, Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder – adds an incredible amount of flavor to the beef mixture. If you like a more simple burger, omit the Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce, then taste and re-season, if necessary once the beef is cooked through. You could even swap the spices entirely for your favorite burger seasoning blend.
- Half-and-Half – heavy cream may be used as a substitute, but I don’t recommend using anything else. Something with less fat, such as milk, don’t create as creamy of a texture and may not set up as well.
- Bisquick – the MVP. There isn’t a substitute for this unless you want to play around with creating a homemade version of Bisquick with flour, baking powder, salt, and shortening. Be sure you’re using the original Bisquick Pancake and Baking Mix.
- Eggs – there is no substitute for eggs in this particular recipe. Eggs comes in different sizes, so be sure to use 2 large eggs, which is what’s called for in the original recipe.
- Sauces: Mayo, Mustard, Ketchup – adds creaminess and burger flavor. Any can be omitted, but you’ll lose out on creaminess and flavor. If all are omitted, the pie may end up on the drier side.
- Pickles – can be omitted if you’re not a fan of pickles, but it helps create an amazing burger flavor. Use whatever pickles you enjoy on your burger.
- Cheese – American cheese is the classic cheeseburger cheese, but use whatever cheese you like on your cheeseburgers!
