Dig into this throwback cheeseburger pie that flips a classic American sandwich into the coziest casserole ever. The real fun happens as savory ground beef gets topped with gooey cheese and crowned with a soft, golden biscuit layer that comes together in 30 minutes flat.

When I first tossed this together, we were in the thick of a wild week and I couldn’t squeeze in extra grocery runs. Now, every Thursday when we need some chill, this is our family go-to and total comfort fix.

Ingredients

  • Optional toppings make it easy for everyone to personalize their slice just like at a burger joint
  • Eggs pull the whole thing together and help that biscuit layer rise up nice and fluffy
  • Whole milk brings extra richness to your crust—don’t swap with skim if you want the same texture
  • Bisquick baking mix is what gets you that easy, perfect crust every time
  • Cheddar cheese go for sharp for bold taste, but medium works great if you want it a little milder
  • Garlic powder gives you burger vibes with zero chopping involved
  • Yellow onion brings just enough sweetness to even out the savory beef
  • Ground beef grab 80/20—it’s juicy with just the right touch of fat

Effortless Cheeseburger Pie

Rest It Before Cutting
Once it’s out of the oven, let everything chill for about 5 minutes. The layers set up so you can get perfect slices.
Bake Away
Pour your biscuit mix gently over the beef and cheese—you don’t have to smooth it out. Bake for 25-30 minutes till it’s beautifully golden and a knife in the center comes out clean.
Mix Up The Biscuit
Whisk up eggs, Bisquick, and milk in a bowl. Stir till there’s no lumps left so your top bakes up soft and fluffy.
Layer That Pie
Spread the beef into a greased 9-inch pie plate. Pile shredded cheese all over so it softens right into the warm meat.
Season The Meat
Toss in garlic powder, plus salt and pepper. Mix well so all that flavor gets everywhere for maximum burger taste.
Brown Your Beef
Cook up the ground beef and onions together in a pan. Break the meat up small as it cooks—when it’s no longer pink and the onion’s see-through, you’re set (about 8 minutes).
Heat Up The Oven
Fire up your oven to 400°F and let it come all the way up so the crust bakes just right.

If there’s one thing you shouldn’t skimp on, it’s the cheddar! My grandma swore by grating it fresh instead of using bagged shreds—the difference in melts is huge, since there’s no weird anti-caking stuff. That one simple trick makes your cheese layer next-level gooey.

Leftover Tips

Stash any leftover slices in airtight containers or wrap the whole pie tight with foil. It’ll last in the fridge for three days easy. Reheat wedges in the microwave for a couple of minutes or warm up in the oven at 350°F for about ten minutes. Actually, it tastes even better after the flavors hang out overnight.

Fun Twists

Craving bacon? Toss six slices of cooked, crumbled bacon into the beef. Want a mushroom swiss vibe? Use Swiss instead of cheddar and stir in eight ounces of sautéed mushrooms. If taco night wins, swap the usual seasonings for taco mix and load up with lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream once it’s baked.

How to Serve It Up

Throw together a toppings bar with all the burger fixings—think pickles, chopped tomatoes, ketchup, and mustard. A crisp green salad on the side helps balance things out. Go for the full diner effect with onion rings or sweet potato fries, then finish with a cold chocolate milkshake.

Common Queries

→ Can other meats work instead of beef?

Definitely! Swap ground beef for chicken, turkey, or veggie options. Just be aware the flavor and texture might shift slightly.

→ Can it be prepped in advance?

Sure! Cook the beef mix first and keep it refrigerated. Put it together and bake when you’re ready to eat for the best taste.

→ How can I add unique flavors?

Try mixing in some sliced jalapeños, crispy bacon bits, or a combo of sharp and smoky cheeses like gouda or pepper jack.

→ Is Bisquick necessary or can I use something else?

You can totally make a similar mix with flour, baking powder, salt, and some butter or shortening at home.

→ How can I tell it’s done baking?

When the biscuit topping turns a pretty golden shade and a knife poked in the middle comes out dry, you’re good to go.

Steps to Follow

Step 01

Set the oven to heat up to 400°F (200°C).

Step 02

Place a pan on medium heat and cook the ground beef along with the onion until the meat is done and the onion looks soft and clear. This takes about 8–10 minutes. Drain any leftover grease.

Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Take the pan off the heat and keep it aside.

Step 04

Lightly coat a 9-inch pie dish with some butter or non-stick spray.

Step 05

Spread out the beef mixture evenly in the pie dish. Then, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese all over the beef layer.

Step 06

Mix the Bisquick, milk, and eggs together in a bowl. Stir until you get a smooth mixture.

Step 07

Evenly pour the batter mix right on top of the beef and cheese layers in the dish.

Step 08

Put it into the oven for 25–30 minutes. It’s ready when the top looks golden, and a knife poked in the center comes out clean.

Step 09

Wait about 5 minutes for it to cool before cutting it into slices. Add your favorite optional toppings before serving, if you'd like.
