Cheeseburger Pie

Cheeseburger Pie is a timeless comfort food recipe that's easy to make, incredibly satisfying, and perfect for busy weeknights. With seasoned ground beef, melted cheddar cheese, and a fluffy Bisquick topping that bakes into a golden crust, this classic family favorite tastes just like a cheeseburger in casserole form.

The filling starts with lean ground beef and onions cooked until perfectly browned, then seasoned with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper for simple, savory flavor. Stirring cheddar cheese directly into the warm beef mixture creates a rich, cheesy filling that stays deliciously gooey as it bakes.

The Bisquick batter is poured right over the meat mixture and transforms into a light, golden topping while baking. It creates the perfect contrast to the rich, cheesy filling underneath without requiring you to make a traditional pie crust. Finished with a sprinkle of fresh Parmesan cheese, this casserole is simple enough for a weeknight dinner but comforting enough to become a family tradition.

Serve it with a crisp salad or your favorite vegetables for a complete meal that's guaranteed to please everyone around the table.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • 1 onion, diced

  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 pinches salt

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Bisquick Topping

  • 2 eggs

  • ½ cup Bisquick baking mix

  • 1 cup milk

For Serving

  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the diced onion until the beef is fully cooked and the onion is tender. Drain any excess grease if needed.

  3. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.

  4. Add the cheddar cheese and stir until melted and fully combined with the meat.

  5. Transfer the meat mixture to a pie plate and press it into an even layer using the back of a spoon.

  6. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, Bisquick, and milk until smooth.

  7. Pour the Bisquick mixture evenly over the meat.

  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

  9. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Tips

  • Allow the pie to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing to help it hold together.

  • Freshly shredded cheddar melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.

  • Add dill pickle slices, diced tomatoes, or shredded lettuce after baking for a cheeseburger-inspired topping.

  • For extra flavor, serve with ketchup, mustard, or burger sauce on the side.

  • Leftovers reheat well for an easy lunch the next day.
