Ingredients:
- 3 cups Bisquick
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 3/4 cup milk (plus more if needed)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon onion powder (or finely chopped onion)
- 1 can (10.75 oz) cheddar cheese soup
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup milk (depending on veggie addition)
- 6 slices American cheese
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
-
Grease a 9 by 13 inch glass baking pan. If using a metal pan, decrease the oven temperature to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
-
Combine Bisquick and grated cheddar cheese in a mixing bowl, tossing until the cheese is evenly coated.
-
Add 3/4 cup of milk to the Bisquick mixture. If the dough is too dry, you can add more milk to achieve a spreadable consistency.
-
Press the dough into the greased pan, ensuring it extends 1/2 inch up the sides.
-
Set aside the prepared crust.
-
In a separate mixing bowl, combine ground beef, onion powder (or chopped onion), cheddar cheese soup, veggies (if using), and milk. Use 1/4 cup of milk if not adding veggies, or 1/2 cup if including them.
-
Spread the beef mixture evenly over the prepared crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and arrange the American cheese slices in two rows of three over the beef mixture.
-
Return to the oven for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese slices are just melted.
-
Serve hot, and enjoy the cheesy goodness of this irresistible Cheddar Crust Cheeseburger Bake!
