What is Bisquick Impossible Cheeseburger Pie?

Bisquick impossible cheeseburger pie is a vintage recipe that first appeared on the back of the famous yellow box. It uses easy-to-find ingredients, most of which you likely already have in your pantry.

The beauty of impossible pies is that you mix together a handful of ingredients, pour them into a pie plate, and bake. You don’t even need to roll out a separate crust, in fact, the crust ingredients are mixed together and poured over the pie. The mixture magically bakes up into a perfect, comforting. savory pie.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Pie:

Ground Beef – This amazing pie recipe calls for ground beef which is typically an 80/20 blend. I know everyone is different, but that ratio is important for this recipe because it keeps everything moist and juicy.
Onion – I use a yellow onion. A white onion works just as well.
Garlic – I always use fresh. I find that the prepared garlic in a jar has a strange flavor.
Worcestershire Sauce – This is an irreplaceable condiment that has been fermented and tastes savory, sweet, and slightly tangy.
Salt
Pepper

Crust:

Bisquick
Whole Milk
Eggs

Tips

Bake: I always bake mine uncovered. It allows the air to circulate so the pie bakes up nice and even with a perfectly golden cheesy crust.
Feed a crowd: If you want to stretch out the meal a bit, you can double the impossible concoction and fill up a 9” x 13” pan instead.
- You can also make cute little individual pies by baking this in muffin tins!
  1. Mix all the ingredients, then fill a lightly greased pan with a scant tablespoon of the Bisquick batter, ¼ c. of the beef filling, then another tablespoon of the batter.
  2. They’ll need to bake for about 30 minutes, cool for 5, then be taken out to cool for another 10 minutes to avoid any impatient mouth burning.
Fillings + Toppings – Make this a bacon cheeseburger pie by adding about 6 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon to the beef before adding the Bisquick batter. Some impossible cheeseburger pie recipes add ketchup, mustard, or even dill pickle relish to the filling to emulate an actual cheeseburger.
- I like to save those things for garnish since no two guests are exactly alike when it comes to hamburger fixin’s.

Storing + Freezing + Make-Ahead

How Long Can You Keep This In The Fridge? This impossibly delicious cheeseburger pie will stay fresh and yummy in the fridge for a couple of days when stored properly, although I rarely have leftovers. When I do I either transfer it to an airtight container or cover it tightly with cling wrap before putting it in the fridge. Easy peasy!
Can You Freeze This? Yes!!!….and you have options. You can either cook it up and then freeze it or you can throw everything together and toss it in the freezer before you cook it (minus the cheese, of course).
- When you’re ready to serve all you have to do is thaw it out, cover it with cheese, and bake! The temperature and length of time will be determined by whether you’re reheating leftovers or baking up a frozen cheeseburger pie.
Can You Make Impossible Cheeseburger Pie Ahead Of Time? This impossibly easy cheeseburger pie is – well – super simple! Even when you know you’ve got a busy day ahead, you can throw this thing together and slide it into the fridge without baking. It’ll stay ready to go for up to 24 hours. Then all it takes is preheating the oven and dinner on the table in 40 minutes.

Serving Recommendations

This pie makes a fantastic mid-week dinner when you’re short on time. I love serving this with a simple green salad dressed in my super quick-to-make balsamic vinaigrette. (Trust me you will love this salad dressing!)

If you want a warm vegetable, try my roasted broccoli, brown sugar carrots, or my simple roasted peppers!
