One of America’s favorite foods is the Cheeseburger. Obviously so, and this recipe gives you the great taste of a Cheeseburger, but you get to eat it with utensils. Instead of a bun, you will make a crust from biscuit mix, and roll it out to the thickness of a pie crust. Then you will take that crust and place it into a 9 inch pie plate.
Finally, a Cheeseburger made for those who don’t want the bun portion, yet still want a few carbs. This is the real deal people! The same great taste, but with a twist on the old stand-by.
Once you scoop up a slice of this Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie, you can add toppings to it and turn it into your favorite Cheeseburger. I always make sure that I have chopped or shredded lettuce, sliced or diced tomatoes, diced onions, pickles or relish, and of course ketchup and mustard. Having these items available gives each person the chance to choose their own toppings.
The secret to this recipe is that you will be pouring the biscuit mix over the ground beef mixture. So those of you that are thinking of ready made crusts or biscuits, yes, those are very possible to use, but will also give you a different dish than what this recipe is.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this recipe be altered or made with variations?
Please, if you choose to, that is what recipes are. The recipe you read is the basic recipe. You need to add or change the ingredients to turn it into something that your family will love! Whether that is additional seasonings, toppings, different cheese or additions to the meat mix. I beg of you to add or remove whatever does not suit your fancy. Of course, taste test the meat to ensure that it is seasoned properly.
How do I store this after the meal?
If you have any left, place it into an airtight container once it has cooled properly. Then place the container into the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Can I make ahead and freeze the Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie?
Yes! Just be sure that the pie has cooled completely before wrapping it or placing it into a freezer safe container. You can store it in the freezer for 3 months.
Are there variations you can recommend?
I always say that you should make it with ingredients that your family loves. Personally, I mix a can of Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilis into the meat mix. I have added a can of refried beans and a packet of taco seasoning to make it a Taco Burger. There are so many options.
How do I reheat this Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie?
I generally heat single servings up in the microwave or air fryer. However, you can cover the pie dish with foil and place it in a preheated 325°F oven until it is heated through. Be sure to cover with aluminum foil prior to placing in the oven.
Can I use ground turkey instead?
Of course you can! That would make a healthier option. You can use half turkey and half beef, or half turkey and half sausage. I know some families who use ground venison and swear it is even better.
Could I use a ready-made pie crust or biscuit dough?
I always say that anything is worth a try. I would think that a pie crust would be a little sweet, however, Hawaiian rolls are a popular bun type that is being used on cheeseburgers, so yes, feel free to try it. When using the biscuit dough, you would have to manage to roll it out pretty thin and prevent it from reforming into the thick dough. That is the opposite of what we are doing in this recipe however. But, I would think it is highly possible.
INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED
- Ground Beef (lean)
- White Onion (diced)
- Bisquick Biscuit Mix

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
First: Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Third: In a skillet, crumble and cook the ground beef and onion until the ground beef is no longer pink.
Fourth: While the meat is cooking, use a medium bowl and combine the Bisquick, eggs, and milk together until it is combined with no lumps. You do not want it too runny, but also not too thick.
Fifth: When the ground beef is thoroughly cooked, drain the excess grease.
Sixth: Pour the meat mixture into the pie dish.
Seventh: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the meat mixture.
Eighth: Finally, pour the Bisquick mix over the top to cover the entire cheeseburger pie.
