How to Make Impossible Cheeseburger Pie
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick spray.
2️⃣ Cook the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, chopped onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. Drain any excess grease and transfer the mixture to your prepared pie plate.
3️⃣ Mix the Crust
In a separate bowl, whisk together Bisquick baking mix, milk, and eggs until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the beef layer.
4️⃣ Top & Bake
Sprinkle the grated cheddar over the top. Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until golden brown and the center is set.
5️⃣ Cool & Serve
Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Add your favorite burger toppings — pickles, ketchup, mustard — and enjoy!
What to Serve With Cheeseburger Pie
- Crisp side salad with a tangy vinaigrette
- Classic potato wedges or fries
- Pickles or sliced tomatoes on the side
- A drizzle of ketchup for the full burger effect!
Tips for Perfect Cheeseburger Pie
✔️ Drain the beef well so the crust sets nicely.
✔️ Let it rest before slicing — it makes cutting cleaner.
✔️ Store leftovers in the fridge — they reheat beautifully in the oven or microwave!
Storage Instructions

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade baking mix?
Yes! If you don’t have Bisquick, mix ½ cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1 tbsp cold butter cut in.
Can I make it ahead?
Absolutely. Assemble the filling and batter separately, refrigerate, then bake fresh.
Does it taste eggy?
Nope! The eggs help create the fluffy “crust” but the main flavor is all savory cheeseburger.
