2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (shred your own for extra meltiness)

Instructions
-
Preheat & Prep:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter. -
Brown the Beef:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and onions until beef is no longer pink and onions are translucent. Drain excess fat. Stir in salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and any optional additions. -
Layer the Pie:
Spread beef mixture evenly in the baking dish. Top with shredded cheddar cheese. -
Make the Topping:
In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, Bisquick mix, and smoked paprika (if using) until smooth. Pour over the cheesy beef layer, spreading gently to the edges. -
Bake:
Bake 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and center is set (toothpick should come out clean). -
Rest & Serve:
Let pie sit 5–10 minutes before slicing into 12 squares. Serve family-style or with sides like green salad, fries, or coleslaw.
