This delicious cheeseburger pie is going to be one of your new favorite meals! It is so easy to make and comes together quickly and easily. Prepare this cheeseburger pie in a matter of minutes and have your family dinner ready in no time!

It is one of those feel-good country dinner meals that my family LOVES. Dinner pies are a great meal for when you just don’t have a whole lot of time to dedicate to dinner. It is cheap, easy, and uses ingredients you probably already have on hand!

Bisquick Cheeseburger Pie Ingredients

Only six ingredients are needed to make this easy cheeseburger pie recipe! It is a savory dinner that will fill you up. Most of these ingredients are pantry staples and great to have on hand. Use these simple ingredients that will come together quickly and easily for a delicious cheeseburger pie!

  • Ground beef – Use lean ground beef, like 85% or higher, to help cut back on fat. Once cooked, drain the excess grease off the meat before adding it to the pan.
  • Onion – Chop a white or yellow onion and cook with the ground beef. This will give moisture to the beef as well as add in flavor.
  • Cheddar cheese – Sprinkle shredded cheese over top of the ground beef. The shredded cheese melts easier and will mix together easier as it is baked. If you are wanting a hamburger pie, leave out the cheese.
  • Bisquick mix – This is a simple way to make a crust for those busy weeknight meals. You can also use the Krusteaz baking mix if you have this one at home instead of Bisquick. Both will work great!
  • Milk – Thin the batter with milk added in. You can use any percentage of milk. I would not recommend almond milk or a low-fat milk though.
  • Eggs – These are added in for the pie crust to give the batter filling. The crust batter is going to look runny but it will form once baked.

How to Make Easy Cheeseburger Pie

This cheeseburger pie is simple to make and only uses a couple of pans when preparing. You will need a 9-inch pie plate and a skillet to cook the ground beef. Fewer dishes means more time to enjoy dinner!

  1. Sauté – Cook beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat until cooked through and onions become clear. Stir in salt & pepper.
  2. Prepare – Spray a glass pie plate with cooking spray and spread beef mixture over the bottom. Top with shredded cheese.
  3. Mix together – Whisk together baking mix, milk, and eggs in a medium-sized bowl until well blended. Pour the beef mixture into the pie pan.
  4. Bake and serve – Bake for 25 minutes or until the knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Cut into wedges and serve!

Taco Pie Variation

Mix up your dinner one night and create a fiesty taco pie! Simply add taco seasoning to the ground beef and top with sour cream and salsa. Now you have a whole new meal! Try both cheeseburger pie and taco pie to see which one you like best!

Tips for Cheeseburger Pie Recipe

Try these tips to help make this cheeseburger pie the best it can be! Learn how to serve, make the crust just right, and feed more than just your family by doubling the recipe. Serve this cheeseburger pie perfectly for your next dinner!

  • Don’t over-mix – The crust batter will be a little runny and milky, but not thick. Don’t over-mix the batter though. Stir until combined and leave it.
  • Serving – When ready to serve, garnish the cheeseburger with all your favorite toppings on a cheeseburger.
  • Cutting the pie – Wait 15 to 20 minutes before cutting into the pie. This will allow the cheeseburger to set up and not fall apart when slicing. Use a sharp knife to cut through the cheeseburger.
  • Double the recipe – If you are serving a larger family, double the recipe and add the cheeseburger to a 9×13 pan.

Modifications for Making the Best Cheeseburger Pie

Take your cheeseburger pie up a notch and try these different variations and toppings to make your pie even better! Cheeseburger pie is so versatile with so many delicious choices and ideas to make it your way. Add vegetables, change the cheese, and add on toppings to make it taste just like a cheeseburger!

  • Protein – For a lighter meal, try ground turkey or ground chicken in replace of ground beef.
  • Vegetables – Add shredded carrot or zucchini in with the ground beef and onion mixture. This will add extra veggies and it doesn’t alter the taste.
  • Cheese – Switch up the cheese to the favorite burger cheese you like. Try Monterey jack, swiss, or your favorite.
  • Toppings – Top with sautéed onions or mushrooms before serving to kick it up a notch. You can even make it like a cheeseburger and add lettuce, tomato, and even dill pickles or pickle relish!
  • Condiments – One of our favorite things to put on cheeseburger pie is ketchup and sometimes mustard. Give it a try!

What To Serve With Cheeseburger Pie

It’s always tricky trying to find the right side dish to go along with casseroles or dishes like cheeseburger pie since many view it as a “one dish meal” (which is totally fine). However, if you are looking to add a little more to your dinner, you can try it with these side dishes.

  1. This is a great recipe. Tonight I decided to double it and cook in a 9×13 glass dish. I overcooked it a bit! 45 minutes at 400 was too long but we’ll still eat it. Next time I’ll cook it at 375 for 40 minutes and check it.

  2. 5 stars
    This is everything my family wants in a dinner and more! So much easier than firing up the grill. Love it for a quick weeknight fix! Thank you!

  3. What if you dont want to use a pie. plate and you want to make a bigger batch if you want to use a 9×13.would you double or triple it. Thank You

    1. If you are using a 9×13 I would just double the recipe. You could probably get away with tripling it but it would be quite thick. Hope this helps!

  4. Let me start off by saying I love your website!! I made your crock pot pork chops Tuesday night and the Cheeseburger pie Wednesday night! My husband asked me to make the taco pie as well because he loved it! I did season the ground beef with garlic powder and Lawry’s seasoning salt and pepper much like I would home made burgers and it was excellent. In fact, we packed the left overs for lunch today 🙂 Thank you so much.

  5. I tried this recipe because it sounded so easy and it was delicious! My three picky eaters gobbled it up with NO complaints! That never happens! Thank you!

  6. Both of these Pie recipes sound so good, and easy! Im putting them on my menu ( and grocery ) list! =)

    Thanks!
