Start gathering all your ingredients, and your recipe. The recipe is written for one pie, but when I made it and took the pictures, I doubled the recipe to make 2 pies.
Preheat the oven to 375*F.
This recipe is made in 3 layers. The crust, the filling, and the cheese topping.
Mix 1 Cup of Bisquick with 1/4 Cup of water and stir about 200 strokes. Form into a ball, and knead 5 times on a floured surface.
Roll out and put into a 9" pie shell. (I like those deep dish pie plates. You can use your fingers to shape it into the plate.)
Chop 1/4 Cup onion (optional) and 1/4 Cup of green pepper (optional) and add to 1 pound of ground hamburger.
Cook until the onions are translucent and the hamburger is well cooked. Drain all liquid off of the meat.
Add to the drained meat mixture; 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp oregano, 8 oz tomato sauce, and 1/2 Cup of bread crumbs (plain or Italian style)
Mix well, and put into the Bisquick shell. Using your spoon, smooth into a flat layer.
For the cheese topping, use any type of 'orange' cheese. This time I used Colby, but any cheddar would be fine. Grate 2 Cups of Cheese into a bowl. Add 1 egg (remember I doubled the recipe, that's why the picture has 2 eggs in it.) Add 1/4 cup of milk ( I use the measurement of a blurb), and 1/2 tsp dry mustard (again I use the measurement of a blob of table mustard)and 1/2 tsp salt.
Mix with a fork and layer over the top of the meat mixture.
Put into the oven (375*F) and bake for 30 minutes.
Cut into pie shaped wedges and serve with salad. Yummy!
