Old-Fashioned Impossible Cheeseburger Pie

A nostalgic comfort food classic that combines savory ground beef with a magically rising Bisquick crust and melty cheese topping – perfect for busy weeknights when you crave the flavors of a cheeseburger in an easy-to-serve pie format.

 

  • Total Time: 65 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Beef Filling:

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Crust:

  • ½ cup Bisquick baking mix
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • For the Topping:
  • 1 cup extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare the Dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate with butter or nonstick spray to ensure your cheeseburger pie doesn’t stick after baking. This preparation step is crucial for easy serving later.
  2. Cook the Beef Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, combine ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat is completely browned and the onions have become tender and translucent, about 10 minutes. Carefully drain off any excess fat to prevent the pie from becoming greasy. Transfer the cooked beef mixture into the greased pie plate, spreading it into an even layer.
  3. Prepare the Crust Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick mix, milk, and eggs. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. This batter will form the magical crust that rises during baking. Pour this batter evenly over the beef mixture, ensuring it covers all the meat while being careful not to overflow the dish.
  4. Add Cheese and Bake: Sprinkle the grated sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the batter. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the center is set and no longer jiggly, the top has turned a beautiful golden brown, and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  5. Let It Rest and Serve: Once you’ve removed the pie from the oven, allow it to rest for 10 minutes. This crucial resting period helps the pie set properly and makes slicing much easier. Cut into wedges and serve warm, accompanied by a side salad, coleslaw, or a simple tomato slice to round out the meal.

Notes

  • For a healthier version, you can use lean ground beef or ground turkey.
  • Add diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the beef mixture for extra vegetables.
  • Try adding classic burger toppings like diced pickles, tomatoes, or even bacon bits to the meat mixture.
  • This pie reheats beautifully, making it perfect for leftovers.
  • For a homemade alternative to Bisquick, combine 1/2 cup flour, 3/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon butter.
