Impossible Cheese Burger Pie Recipe

Part of being thrifty is having an arsenal of recipes that can be made in a hurry! This is a favourite in my house, one that never has any left overs! 

I have seen many variations of this recipe, and this is mine after some tweeking to make it just how I like it! 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Bisquick mix (Make your own with my recipe)
• 1 cup milk
• 3 eggs
• 1-2 lb ground beef, cooked
• 1 onion chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheese
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
• Tomato slices (optional)

This is so easy! First, Pre-heat your oven to 400. Next, spread your browned ground beef in a greased pie plate. Add your onion and mushrooms if desired. 

Now, mix your biscuit mix, milk, eggs, and salt and pepper. I use my blender to make sure it is all good and mixed. 

Now pour the prepared batter over the meat mixture and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove the pie and add the shredded cheese. If you want tomatoes, add them now too. (I was out of tomatoes when I made this last)



Bake for an other 5 minutes, or until cooked through. You want it browned slightly, and if you insert a knife, it comes out clean. That's it! Easy and delicious! Enjoy :)

Campus Books and Operation Smile

Disclosure:This is a sponsored post for Campus Book Rentals. All opinions are my own. For more information see our Disclosure Policy 

It's not just back to school time for kids. Collage students are heading back too. That means it's time to buy textbooks, right? Textbooks are a major expense for collage students, but they don't have to be. 

Campus Books Rentals offers students a new way get the books they need, by renting them. Over 1,000,000 students have discovered the money savings!

What are the benefits? 

• Save 40-90% off of bookstore prices 
• Free shipping both ways
• Students can highlight in the textbooks 
• Flexible renting periods

How does it work? Watch and learn...

Now there is a new program, RentBack. RentBack is new initiative that allows students to rent the textbooks they own - to other students. This gives you the chance to make 2-4 times more than other buy back offers! Every time your books are rented, you get paid, and can continue renting them out as long as they are in demand!

Campus Books is not only helping collage students. With every text book that is rented, a donation is made to Operation Smile. 

Operation Smile is an international children's medical charity that heals children's smiles, forever changing their lives. 

Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft. 1 in 10 of those children will die before their first birthday, and that is a real tragedy. The children who survive are often unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In some places, they are shunned and rejected. And in too many cases, their parents can't afford to give them the surgeries they need to live a productive life.

Operation Smile and its more than 5,000 medical volunteers are working every day around the world to provide safe, effective and free cleft lip and cleft palate reconstructive surgery for children all over the world. 

This is a wonderful organization, and it is really exciting to share how Campus Book Rentals is helping to make a difference. Help spread the word. Share this post with the collage students in your life. You will not only be helping them with their expense, but you will be saving lives.

Homemade Biscuit Mix

We love biscuits in my house! They go with everything. With 5 kids, I don't always have a ton of time to whip them together, so I make my own Bisquick mix to keep on hand for those situations! Super easy, and there when you need it! 

Ingredients:

• 9 cups of flour
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 tbsp baking powder
• 2 cups solid vegetable shortening
• clean empty ice cream pail for storage

Directions: 

So simple. Add all you ingredients it your ice cream pail.  

Now get in there with your hands, or a pastry mixer if you have one, and mix it all up. You want to get the shortening mixed in forming pea sized lumps.


That's it! So simple! Store it in your pail for 3 months (I have used it longer than that and it's been ok)



When you are ready to make biscuits, mix 2 1/2 cups of the mix with 2/3 cups of milk. Knead the dough and roll it out. Bake at 425 for 10-15 minutes, and serve.

Enjoy!
