I enjoy making this Southern Style Cheeseburger Pie because it delivers all the flavors I love in a cheeseburger, baked into a warm and comforting dish. It is simple, filling, and perfect when I want a homemade meal that feels familiar and satisfying without being complicated.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

It comes together quickly, bakes beautifully, and works well for both weeknight dinners and casual family meals. I also appreciate how it can be customized with small additions while still keeping its classic flavor.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 pound ground beef
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
0.5 cup Bisquick mix
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

I begin by preheating my oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly greasing a pie dish.

I heat the oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and ground beef. I cook everything together until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, breaking the meat apart as it cooks. I season with salt and black pepper and drain any excess fat.

I spread the beef mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.

In a mixing bowl, I whisk together the Bisquick mix, milk, and eggs until smooth. I slowly pour this mixture over the beef and cheese, allowing it to settle evenly.

I bake the pie for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set. I let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Servings And Timing

I usually get 4 to 6 servings from this pie. Preparation takes about 10 minutes, and baking takes around 35 minutes, making the total time approximately 45 minutes.

Variations

I like adding chopped green onions, fresh parsley, or cilantro to the beef mixture for extra freshness. Sometimes I mix in diced bell peppers or mushrooms, making sure they are cooked first to avoid excess moisture.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, I use the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or I warm individual slices in the microwave until heated through.

FAQs

Can I use a different ground meat?

I sometimes use ground turkey or ground chicken, and both work well with slight flavor changes.

Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?

I like assembling it a few hours in advance and refrigerating it, then baking it just before serving.

Can I make this pie gluten-free?

I can use a gluten-free baking mix instead of regular Bisquick for a gluten-free version.

How do I know when the pie is fully cooked?

I check that the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Can I serve this with side dishes?

I usually serve it with a simple salad or steamed vegetables to balance the meal.

Conclusion

I keep coming back to this Southern Style Cheeseburger Pie because it is comforting, easy to prepare, and always satisfying. It is one of those reliable recipes I enjoy making again and again, especially when I want a hearty meal that feels like home cooking.
