Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef (93% lean or higher)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup whole wheat or reduced-fat baking mix
- 1 cup skim milk
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 spray non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Season the beef and onion mixture with salt and black pepper.
Transfer the beef mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat or reduced-fat baking mix, skim milk, and egg whites until smooth.
Pour the batter evenly over the beef and cheese in the pie dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your lowfat cheeseburger pie!
