Introduction

Pioneer Woman Cheeseburger Pie is a comforting, savory dish that combines all the flavors of a classic cheeseburger in a simple, baked pie form. It’s perfect for an easy weeknight dinner that will satisfy the whole family.

A square piece of layered dish sits in the center of a white plate with a textured surface. The bottom layer is dark brown ground meat with a coarse, slightly crumbly texture. Above that, a middle thin layer of creamy white melted cheese peeks through. The top layer is thick, golden-yellow melted cheese that is bubbly and slightly browned in spots, creating a rich, toasted look. A small bunch of fresh green parsley sits on top as a garnish. Around the plate, there are a few small wedges of bright red tomato adding a pop of color. The background is softly blurred with a white marbled texture beneath the plate. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Bisquick or all-purpose baking mix
1 cup milk
2 eggs
Optional: ketchup, mustard, pickles for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. Drain excess fat. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Spread the beef mixture evenly into a greased 9-inch pie dish. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
Step 4: In a mixing bowl, whisk together Bisquick, milk, and eggs until the batter is smooth.
Step 5: Pour the batter over the meat and cheese in the pie dish.
Step 6: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top turns golden and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Let the pie rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or pickles if desired.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the beef while cooking.
Swap cheddar cheese for a blend of mozzarella and Monterey Jack for a milder, creamier taste.
If you don’t have Bisquick, use all-purpose flour mixed with 1 1/2 tsp baking powder per 1/2 cup as a substitute.
Add diced pickles into the beef mixture for a tangy surprise in every bite.

Storage

Store leftover cheeseburger pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the microwave or oven until warmed through. For best texture, reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes.

How to Serve

A close-up of a square slice of lasagna on a white plate, sitting on a white marbled surface, shows three main layers: a golden brown melted cheese layer on top with a slightly crispy texture, beneath it a thick rich layer of cooked ground beef with a moist look, and at the bottom a white creamy sauce layer melting slightly. Around the slice, there are halved bright red cherry tomatoes and green rosemary sprigs, with one rosemary sprig placed on top as garnish. The overall look is warm, rich, and inviting.
