This began in 1978 with Bisquick's recipe for crustless pie recipes and it sprang into a following which shared recipes and menus around this concept. Here are collection of recipes shared over the years in newsletters, all featuring the "Impossible Easy" concept and utilizing readily available and easy to use ingredients such as milk, eggs, cheese, etc.

There are probably 100 of these recipes so easy to make and delicious to serve and enjoy. Feast your menus on such as: Mexican Fiesta Pie, Chicken Tamale Pie, Turkey Ranch Pie,Sausage and Cheese Pie, Shrimp and Spinach Quiche Pie,Mixed Berry Crumble Pie, Peaches n' Cream Pie,Fudgy Chocolate Pecan Pie, Butterscoth Pecan Pie.

These are all easy to prepare, and would be ideal moments to partner up with your children to cook these together.

There is wonderful history and Q&A section, as well as some great color photos and menu suggestions.

Ok, I can't really cook, and I really don't have time to try either. I've been looking for years for a cookbook with brain dead recipes that is cheap, easy to make, and most important to me, easy to carry. I'm a very busy person and needs to muti-task between work and school. I heard about Bisquick for years but never used it. I bought this book, sight unseen, because I thought it sounded too good to be true on how easy it is, that I would just give it a shot. This is the best book I ever got for realist recipes that I can make. I baked the Cheeseburger Pie, while I was cleaning my apt and doing homework. 25 mins in the oven, it came out great. With the leftovers, I reheated it in the microwave and it came out good. This is a great book to give to somebody who can't or has very limited skills cooking or a college student, who has access to a oven or a toaster oven that can bake. If you want to make it a gift theme, give them the book, a pie pan, and a box of Bisquick. I can not wait till have I the chance to try out the other recipes but the best thing is that each recipe comes with a calorie count for each slice.

I've clipped & saved Impossible Pie recipes for years. When a friend bought the compiled Book and made one for a luncheon, I just had to find one. Finally did and I'm thrilled to have all the Impossible Pie recipes in one book! Two other friends and I formed a weight-loss support group so the nutritional break-down following each recipe is an absolute necessity for us. We all have a copy now and love it.
For anyone who likes simple to make one dish meals or desserts, this book is a real bonus. Thanks Better Crocker Bisquick for putting them all in one book.
