Southern Style Cheeseburger Pie: A Comfort Food Classic Made Easy

by

Let’s Make It!

1. Brown the Beef & Onion
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain off any excess grease.

2. Season the Filling
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and pepper into the beef mixture. Let it simmer for a minute so the flavors can meld.

3. Layer the Pie
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish. Spread the seasoned beef mixture evenly in the bottom, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

4. Create the Golden Crust
In a medium bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and Bisquick mix together until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. Pour this evenly over the beef and cheese layer.

5. Bake to Perfection
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is puffed and a beautiful golden brown, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Serve & Enjoy!
Allow the pie to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. This helps it set perfectly. Serve it warm with your favorite burger toppings like dill pickles, extra ketchup, or a crisp side salad.

Chef’s Tips for the Perfect Pie

  • Cheese Matters: For the best, creamiest melt, shred your own cheese from a block. Pre-shredded bags often contain starches that can make the texture a little grainy.

  • Make It Your Own: This recipe is a fantastic canvas for your favorite burger flavors. Try mixing in a tablespoon of yellow mustard, some diced dill pickles, or a pinch of smoked paprika with the beef.

  • Plan Ahead: You can cook and season the beef filling a day in advance. Just store it in the fridge and assemble the pie right before baking.

  • Fantastic Leftovers: This pie reheats wonderfully! Cover slices with foil and warm in a 350°F oven, or microwave for a quick and easy lunch.
