Oh yes! A Southern-Style Cheeseburger Pie is like a cozy, hearty casserole version of a cheeseburger — all the flavors you love in a baked pie form. Here’s a classic recipe:
Southern-Style Cheeseburger Pie
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise or sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup biscuit baking mix (like Bisquick)
- 1 tsp mustard (optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: sliced pickles, chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce
Instructions
- Preheat oven: 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Cook the beef:
- In a skillet, cook ground beef and onions over medium heat until browned.
- Drain excess fat and season with salt, pepper, and mustard if using.
- Prepare the batter:
- In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and mayonnaise (or sour cream).
- Stir in biscuit mix until smooth.
- Assemble the pie:
- Spread half of the biscuit batter in the greased dish.
- Layer the cooked beef mixture on top.
- Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the beef.
- Pour the remaining batter evenly over the top.
- Bake: 35–40 minutes, or until golden brown and set in the center.
- Cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.
- Optional: Top with lettuce, tomato, or pickles like a real cheeseburger.
Tips & Variations
- Add veggies: Bell peppers or mushrooms can be cooked with the beef for extra flavor.
- Spicy kick: Add a few dashes of hot sauce or paprika to the meat layer.
- Cheese variations: Pepper jack or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella works well.
- Mini version: Use a muffin tin for individual cheeseburger pies — perfect for lunchboxes.
This is basically a one-dish cheeseburger that’s easy to make, perfect for weeknight dinners, and very kid-friendly.
I can also make a super-quick, skillet version that cooks in 20 minutes for faster dinners if you want.
Do you want me to do that?
