Cheeseburger pie is a delightful, savory dish that combines the classic flavors of a cheeseburger with a comforting pie form, making it an ideal option for a family dinner or gathering. Here’s a simple yet flavorful recipe to try:

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (or ground turkey for a lighter option)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese blend)
  • 1/2 cup Bisquick (baking mix) or all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (optional, for extra cheeseburger flavor)
  • Pickle slices, mustard, or diced tomatoes (for topping or garnish, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish lightly with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Cook the beef and onions: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drain excess fat.
  3. Prepare the pie filling: Spread the beef and onion mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie dish. If you’d like, drizzle some ketchup or mustard over the beef for that extra cheeseburger flavor.
  4. Add the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.
  5. Make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Bisquick (or flour), eggs, and milk until smooth. This mixture forms the “crust” of the pie. Pour it evenly over the beef and cheese in the pie dish.
  6. Bake the pie: Place the pie in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Garnish and serve: Let the pie cool slightly before slicing. Top with pickle slices, a squirt of mustard, or diced tomatoes for that full cheeseburger experience.

Tips:

  • Customization: You can easily customize this recipe by adding bacon bits, sautéed mushrooms, or even jalapeños to the meat mixture for added flavor.
  • Serve with: Pair it with a fresh side salad or fries to complete the cheeseburger vibe.

Cheeseburger pie is like eating your favorite fast-food burger but with a delicious, home-cooked twist!
