How to Make This Cheeseburger Pie Recipe
STEP ONE: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
STEP TWO: Spray an 8-inch pie pan with nonstick spray.
STEP THREE: In a large skillet cook the ground beef, onion, salt, pepper and onion powder over medium heat until the meat is browned and onions are translucent. Drain any extra fat.
PRO TIP: I use a potato masher to help break up my ground beef.
STEP FOUR: Place half of the meat mixture in the prepared pie pan.
STEP FIVE: Sprinkle ½ cup of the cheddar cheese over the meat.
STEP SIX: Top with the remaining ground beef.
STEP SEVEN: Place the remaining cheddar cheese on top of the meat mixture.
STEP EIGHT: In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, baking mix, milk, and garlic salt until fairly smooth. It’s okay if it has a few lumps. Pour this mixture over the meat pie.
PRO TIP: You can assemble this up to eight hours ahead of baking. Just keep it in the fridge, covered in plastic wrap, until you’re ready to bake. If you’re starting with a cold casserole, you may need to add a few minutes to your baking time to compensate.
STEP NINE: Bake for 25 minutes or until a cake tester or knife inserted comes out clean.
When you’re ready to serve, think about adding your favorite cheeseburger toppings. It’s perfect served with a big, crunchy pickle, crisp lettuce, red onions, avocado, and fresh tomatoes.
How to Store
FRIDGE: You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days. You can reheat in the oven at 325 degrees until warmed through or by microwaving individual portions.
FREEZER: Store in a freezer-safe container for up to three months. Thaw before reheating at 325 degrees until warmed through.
MEAL PREPPING
FRIDGE: You can make and bake this casserole in advance of serving and leave covered in the fridge until it’s time to eat. Heat at 325 degrees for 15-20 minutes when you’re ready to serve.
FREEZER: If you’re going to prepare this as a freezer meal, make the meat mixture and freeze in a freezer-safe container. Thaw the meat mix, then prepare starting at step four.
Easy to make and loaded with delicious flavors, this classic cheeseburger pie is a simple, cheesy dinner favorite. Made with ground beef, baking mix, cheese, eggs, milk, and spices, you’ll love this recipe!

Hi, Sam – it’s Bisquick here in the US. Enjoy 🙂
I have used an old fashioned potato masher to cook hamburger for 64 years!! I LOVE IT it also works very well for stirring!
