1 pound ground beef
scant onion powder
1 Tbs Heavy Whipping Cream (add enough water to make 1 ½ cups liquid
3/4 cup Carbsense Baking Mix
3 medium eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded cheese
1 Tbs prepared yellow mustard (optional)

Get out a 10" iron skillet. Cook the hamburger and onion powder in it over medium heat. Break the meat up into smallish pieces with a fork and cook it until there is no more pink showing. Drain off the fat if necessary. While the meat is cooking get out a medium sized bowl. In it combine the milk, baking mix, eggs, salt and pepper. Mix very well with a whisk, or you can combine it in a blender. You want it pretty smooth. When the meat is well cooked and drained put into prepared pie plate you can put mustard on top if you'd like, pour the batter over it in the hot skillet. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Bake the dish at 400° for about 35 minutes, longer if need be. It should be puffed up and brown on top when it is done. Remove the pan from the oven and cut it into 8 wedges.
