Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Dish
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or an 8×8 baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2: Cook the Beef Filling
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil if using lean meat.
Add ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spoon, for 5–7 minutes until browned.
Stir in chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for another 3–4 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Add ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Cook for another 2–3 minutes to meld flavors, then remove from heat.
Spoon the beef mixture into your greased baking dish and smooth out evenly.
Step 3: Add the Cheese Layer
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly over the meat mixture.
Feel free to mix in other cheeses like mozzarella or Monterey Jack for creaminess.
Step 4: Prepare the Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together:
½ cup flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
In a separate bowl, beat:
2 eggs
