What Is Cheeseburger Pie?
At its core, Cheeseburger Pie is a savory beef casserole baked in a pie dish. It’s typically made with seasoned ground beef and cheese, layered with either a Bisquick-style batter or a biscuit dough topping that forms a soft, golden crust as it bakes.
Unlike a traditional double-crusted meat pie, Cheeseburger Pie is much simpler—no rolling dough, no blind baking, and no fancy ingredients. Think of it as the cozy lovechild of a cheeseburger and a frittata.
This recipe stays true to the Pioneer Woman’s comfort-first cooking style, using straightforward ingredients, flexible add-ins, and a rustic feel that makes it accessible to cooks of any skill level.
