This super yummy and SUPER simple recipe for Classic Cheeseburger Pie is one of my kids’ favorite meals. Somehow, it fell off my radar for a few years, though. Making the South of the Border Pie a few weeks ago reminded me of it, and I promptly put the ingredients on my shopping list and made it the next week. My kids were thrilled and have been asking when I am going to make it again.
This meal is special to me because the first time I ever had it my friend brought it to me when I had a miscarriage. That was almost exactly 12 years ago. I remember it feeling like the best thing I had ever eaten–probably because it came with so much love. I feel teary just thinking about it. Sometimes we have no idea how much simple gestures really mean, like taking a meal to someone who is having a hard time. This is a great meal for something like that, and you can count on people of any age loving it!
For a lot of people, this is a nostalgic meal because it was on the Bisquick package for years. My mom didn’t ever use Bisquick, so I was deprived of this yummy meal as a child. Do you remember it? Have you made it before? I’d love to know.

Frequently Asked Questions for How to Make Classic Cheeseburger Pie
Can I double the recipe?
Yes, you can. You can use two deep-dish pie pans or a 9×13 baking dish. If you choose to use a 9×13 dish, you will need to increase the baking time to 5-10 minutes.
Will this recipe work with ground turkey?
You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey, and it will still turn out good.
Do you recommend adding bacon?
Oh, how we love bacon. If you want to make a bacon cheeseburger pie, add some chopped bacon to the frying pan when you’re browning the ground beef.
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Absolutely. Essentially, whatever type of cheese you like on a cheeseburger will taste good in this recipe. For a little spicy kick, use Pepper Jack cheese.
What toppings do you recommend?
I recommend using your favorite cheeseburger toppings–diced tomatoes, pickles, green onions, or lettuce.
How should I store the pie?
Covered tightly with plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It can also be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
