Pioneer Woman Cheeseburger Pie

Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 large onion, finely chopped (approximately 1 cup)

450 grams ground beef

0.5 teaspoon salt

freshly ground black pepper, to taste

garlic powder, to taste (optional)

120 grams grated Cheddar cheese (about 1 cup)

65 grams Bisquick baking mix or all-purpose flour (about 0.5 cup)

240 millilitres whole milk (1 cup)

2 large eggs

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 200°C and lightly greasing a 23 cm glass pie dish.

In a large skillet over medium heat, I warm a little oil and sauté the chopped onion until soft, which takes about 3 minutes. Then I add the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces, and cook it until fully browned, about 10 minutes. I drain any excess fat.

I season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if I feel like adding extra flavor. Then I spread the beef and onion mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish and sprinkle the grated Cheddar cheese over the top.

In a separate bowl, I whisk together the Bisquick (or flour), milk, and eggs until smooth. I pour this batter evenly over the beef and cheese.

I bake the pie for 20 to 25 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. I let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Variations

I sometimes switch things up depending on what I have. I like adding diced pickles or a bit of mustard to give it a true cheeseburger feel. If I want a lighter version, I use ground turkey instead of beef. I also enjoy experimenting with different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When I reheat it, I prefer using the oven at a low temperature to keep the texture nice, but the microwave works fine for a quick option. If I plan ahead, I sometimes freeze individual slices and reheat them later.

FAQs

Can I make this pie ahead of time?

I can prepare the beef mixture in advance and assemble everything just before baking. This makes dinner even quicker.

Can I use a different type of cheese?

I often swap Cheddar with other cheeses like Colby or Monterey Jack depending on my mood.

What can I use instead of Bisquick?

I simply use all-purpose flour, and it works just as well in creating the batter.

How do I know when the pie is fully cooked?

I check by inserting a knife into the center. If it comes out clean, the pie is ready.

Can I add vegetables to this recipe?

I like adding vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms to the beef mixture for extra flavor and texture.

Conclusion

I find this cheeseburger pie to be one of those dependable recipes I can always return to. It’s easy, filling, and packed with comforting flavors. Whether I’m cooking for family or just want something satisfying, this dish always delivers.
