Oh my goodness…my boys LOVE this easy dinner, you guys!
Gibbs said that it reminds him of meatloaf, which I don’t really get…but maybe it’s the ground beef? Casey said it’s “like a burger,” and Keith just went back for seconds and had another batch for lunch the following day.
I call it a Cheeseburger Pie, but no matter how you describe it, one thing is for sure: this meal will be a HUGE hit with your family! You just can’t argue with this combination of ingredients…
If you’re like me, then you will definitely appreciate how easily the family-friendly dinner comes together, too.
Since our evenings are always rushed and hectic, I make the Cheeseburger Pie even faster by prepping the beef mixture in advance.
It can sit in the pie plate, ready to go, for a couple of days in your refrigerator — just waiting for the batter and the oven. Pair it with a light, fresh, simple green salad and your meal is complete!
Cook’s Tips and Recipe Variations:
- Make it a Bacon Cheeseburger Pie by adding some chopped bacon to the skillet when you brown the ground beef!
- Swap out the ground beef and replace it with an equal amount of ground turkey or ground chicken.
- Serving a larger family? Double the ingredients and bake the pie in a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish.
- Prep ahead! You can prepare and bake the entire casserole in advance, and then simply reheat it when you’re ready to serve. To reheat the casserole, warm it in a 325 degree F oven for 15-20 minutes.
- You can also assemble the ingredients in advance by placing the cooked beef mixture in the dish and keeping it covered in the refrigerator. At the last minute, whisk together the crust batter, pour over top, and bake!

Easy Cheeseburger Pie
This Easy Cheeseburger Pie is one of those great dinners that the entire family will rave about! It comes together quickly, so it's perfect for a busy evening when you need a meal on the table with just a handful of pantry staples!
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef (I used extra lean ground beef, but any variety will work)
- 1 cup diced onion
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I used 2% shredded cheddar)
- ½ cup Bisquick baking mix (I used Heart Smart Bisquick, but any other similar all-purpose baking mix will work)
- 1 cup milk (I used 2% milk)
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch pie dish (an 8-inch square pan will also work) with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large skillet, brown ground beef and onion over medium heat until beef is no longer pink (about 8-10 minutes). Drain.
- Stir in salt, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and cheese.
- Transfer beef mixture to the prepared pie dish.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together Bisquick, milk, and eggs, just until combined (it’s fine if you still have some lumps in the batter – do not overmix).
- Pour batter on top of beef.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Recipe Notes
Cooking for a Larger Family? You can double the recipe and bake the Cheeseburger Pie in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
Want to Prep Ahead? To make the prep time even faster, I like to complete steps 1-4 in advance. Keep the beef mixture in the pie dish (covered) in the refrigerator for up to 3 days before adding the batter and baking. Â
I can see why your boys like this…looks delicious! And I love that you can prepare the ground beef mixture ahead of time. Definitely a time saver! Sounds wonderful for busy weeknights!
Thanks, Gayle! Love a great prep-ahead dinner!
Love how easy this comes together! I’ve had something similar to this using Bisquick but it’s a pizza-style casserole. This one sounds just as good!
Ooooh! A pizza version sounds great too, Melissa!
What’s up it’s me, I am also visiting this site daily, this website is in fact pleasant and the viewers are in fact sharing good thoughts
Jesse would love this – and my family too! I think I might have to try this over the weekend. I’ll have to come up with an alternative to bisquick though because we don’t have that!
It’s definitely family-friendly, Kristy! I don’t know what Australia has that’s an equal substitute for Bisquick…maybe a general baking mix?
This looks quick & tasty. Not a Bisquick crust fan so think I’m going to try it with Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix.
Oh, that sounds delicious! Let me know if that Red Lobster mix works!
Cheeseburger pie is one of my family’s favorite. I’m trying s new version of this pie with the base made from a combo of corn meal and corn flour.
Perfect! I hope that you all enjoy it, JR!
I make this often but I add a pkg. of mild taco seasoning for each lb. of ground beef when I am browning the meat. It comes out to be taco pie. Everyone loves it.
Great suggestion, Shirley! I have a similar Taco Pie recipe on the blog as well. So good! 🙂
Made this today, was very good! My Grandson will not eat onions , so I did substitute a pack of Lipton Golden Onion soup mix for the onions. Will make again using real onions when he is not visiting.
Great! Thanks, Sandra!
My husband hates ketchup. Is there something I could substitute for it or just leave it out altogether?
Hey, Jess!
Yes, you can either substitute with yellow mustard (if he likes that flavor), use some plain tomato sauce (from a can), or just leave it out! 🙂
You can omit it. Bisquik’s recipe doesn’t include ketchup.
Can I use Kodiak cakes flapjack mix? Instead of bisqick
Hey, Callie! I honestly don’t know. I haven’t compared the ingredients in the two mixes to know if they’re similar or not. I think it would probably work fine, but it will definitely taste slightly different (since Kodiak Cakes taste different than Bisquick). Again, it will probably work — it will just be different. 🙂
This recipe is awful. Getting the bisquick crust to flatten out is a nightmare and it ends up lumpy and either over or under cooked. Don’t use it ever.
What do you mean get the Bisquick cross to flatten out it’s a cup of milk a half a cup of Bisquick into eggs it shouldn’t be sick like oatmeal you just pour it on top it pours you don’t have to find something out that pours the recipe is just fine
