Why "Impossible" Pie is a Culinary Masterstroke
The magic lies in the self-forming crust. A simple batter of milk, eggs, and Bisquick (or similar baking mix) is poured over the cooked beef. As it bakes, the heavier ingredients sink, and the batter rises to the top, creating a tender, fluffy, golden-brown "crust" that cradles the cheesy filling beneath. It’s a self-assembling, one-pan meal that’s foolproof, fast, and endlessly nostalgic. It solves the "what's for dinner?" question with five ingredients and a single skillet.
