Description

Impossible Mexican Pie is a comforting, hearty dish that defies its name by being incredibly simple to prepare. This savory pie features a rich base of ground beef simmered with onions, taco seasoning, and green chiles, all topped with a creamy, cheesy batter that bakes into a golden, biscuit-like crust. It&# 226;€™s the perfect blend of savory spices and melty Monterey Jack cheese, offering a satisfying texture that is both crunchy on top and tender within. Ideal for busy weeknight dinners or potlucks, this recipe comes together in one pie plate with minimal cleanup. The flavors are bold and familiar, delivering a warm, home-style meal that pairs wonderfully with a side salad or fresh salsa.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Lightly grease a 10-inch pie plate.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and chopped onion until beef is browned and onion is tender. Drain excess fat.
  4. Stir the taco seasoning mix into the beef mixture until well combined.
  5. Spread the seasoned beef mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pie plate.
  6. Sprinkle the drained green chiles and shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the beef layer.
  7. In a blender or bowl, beat the milk, Bisquick mix, eggs, and red pepper sauce until smooth and well blended.
  8. Pour the batter evenly over the cheese and beef layers in the pie plate.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted halfway between the center and edge comes out clean.
  10. Let the pie stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
