Calling all comfort food lovers—cheeseburger pie is here to satisfy all of your cravings. Hearty ground beef is cooked until browned and crumbly with plenty of sweet yellow onion and just a little Worcestershire for a rich, savory kick. Throw in plenty of cheese and top it with pickles, ketchup or even try burger sauce and you’ve got big burger flavor without going to a diner. Just grab your favorite pie dish, and let’s get started!
What is cheeseburger pie?
Cheeseburger pie isn’t really a pie, but it’s not quite a quiche, either. It’s actually very similar to a delicious breakfast casserole. Although variations of hamburger pie recipes have been around for years, hamburger pie got famous when a recipe for it was printed on the back of Bisquick boxes.
Can you make cheeseburger pie with Bisquick?
This recipe for cheeseburger pie uses pantry staples to make a homemade version of Bisquick, which is a convenient baking mix. If you have a box of Bisquick in your pantry and you’d like to use it as a shortcut, feel free to do so! Simply substitute 1/2 cup Bisquick for the 1/2 cup flour, baking powder, and 1 tablespoon melted butter in this recipe.
What meat can you use in cheeseburger pie?
If you want to keep your classic cheeseburger pie, you can use any ground beef you have on hand. Ground round or ground chuck is fattier, so it may require draining after cooking; ground sirloin or lean ground beef do not. If you’re looking for a healthier option, substitute 1 pound of ground bison, turkey, or even chicken. The possibilities are almost endless, and are certainly delicious!
