You can serve this with sour cream, salsa and extra cheese. Add a side salad, and you have a simple and delicious meal.

This Impossible Pie is Versatile

You can switch up the ground beef, for ground turkey or even ground chicken. You can also use black beans if you like. We love to mix up the cheese in this recipe and you can use whichever your family prefers. If your family doesn’t like onions or green peppers, simply leave them out.

What is Bisquick?

Bisquick is a baking mix, and it’s usually found in the baking aisle of a grocery store. Super versatile and many people make pancakes with it. If you don’t have it you can simply make your own. Here is the recipe!
