How To Make Impossible Cheeseburger Pie Recipe
There’s something magical about the simplicity of this impossible cheeseburger pie and it is scrumptious. Just add your browned meat-n-veggie mixture to a deep pie dish. Then whisk together your Bisquick topping crust ingredients and pour it over your pie filling.
Now cover with cheese and bake until that golden goodness calls to you. All you need is a cape!
Cheeseburger Pie Recipe Notes
When crafting up this super simple impossible cheeseburger pie, 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 (Bisquick, milk, and eggs), and fill up a 9” x 13” pan instead. You can also make cute little individual pies by baking this in muffin tins!
- 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.
- They’ll need to bake about 30 minutes, cool for 5, then be taken out to cool 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.
Bisquick Cheeseburger Pie Ingredient Notes
Beef – This amazing pie recipe calls for ground chuck 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.
When you’re ready to try new flavors, swap the beef with sausage to make a Bisquick breakfast casserole or go all out with a special Bisquick quiche.
Tools to Make
The most important thing you need for this pie is a 9-inch pie pan. That’s it! Of course, a little imagination doesn’t hurt. This cheeseburger pie pairs really well with a crisp garden salad and dinner’s a done deal.
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 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 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.
Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie Make Ahead Tips
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’s on the table in 40 minutes.
Serving Recommendations
This pie makes a fantastic mid-week dinner when you’re short on time and an enjoyable weekend treats when you wanna’ just spend time with the FAM. I love serving this with a crisp vinaigrette salad.
While you don’t really need a bread item, you can always throw together some Bisquick drop biscuits. Need dessert too? Bisquick chocolate chip cookies do not disappoint, and you’ve probably already got everything you need.
Recipe Variations
Ya’ll know how many things you can do with Bisquick and this versatile impossible cheeseburger pie offers lotsa’ tasty options. Here are a few suggestions.
- Swap the Bisquick for potatoes to create an easy one-skillet hamburger hash the family will love.
- A few simple substitutions and plenty of veggies will give you a hamburger stew with layers upon layers of flavor.
- Grab some poultry instead of beef and whip up some scrumptious turkey burgers for dinner.
- Combine tender pasta, creamy cheese, and savory beef to make a full-flavored hamburger goulash that breaks up weeknight monotony.
- Lose the pie pan and bake up some Bisquick sausage balls that taste like little bite-sized dynamos of flavor.

ITS a great recipe easy to make and it’s different better than a regular cheesburger i think it;s a great idea love it ..
Thank you, Letizia! Glad you like this pie 🙂
So easy and delicious ! I’ve made it so many times! Sometimes I add sliced fresh tomato before I put the crust on. Sometimes I add a little fresh dill, I love to come up with different ideas. It’s an easy recipe to do that with!
That’s awesome, Kathy! I’ll try what you did too. Thank you for sharing and for your positive review 🙂
I would like to make this recipe. Can I make it with 2 percent milk since that is what I always have at home?
Hi, Lynne. Yes you can use that 🙂
Been making this for 35 yrs and we still love
It.easy and tasty.homemade Cole slaw&
mashed potatoes!!! Big hit when don’t know what to make.?? ?
I totally agree with you, Peggy! It’s always a big hit in our house too <3
I have not tried this yet but want to. How can I adapt it to feed six?
Hi, Joana. The serving size is 4-6. This is enough for 6. 🙂
You can double the recipe too, on 2 separate pie plates. Hope this helps!
I’ve made a variation of this for a long time and it’s a family fave. Drop the Worcestershire sauce and garlic and sub in 1 lb cooked ground sausage, drained. Makes a super breakfast casserole or dinner. Seriously, Worcestershire who has tried this, loved it. And it’s impossiby easy! Lol
I’ve have been making this cheeseburger pie for years so I’ve done a few variations and my favorite is when i made a variation with left over sloppy Joe it was perfect and so easy with the added bonus of no”sloppy mess”.
Impossibly easy! Love it
You recipe sound great. When you go to print it, if you put in additional servings, it does not adjust the pan size or number you would need.????
Sorry, Vincenzo. Not sure what’s going on with that program. I’ll try to get it fixed asap 🙂
In the picture it looks like eggs and veggies were added to the ground beef, are my eyes deceiving me?? If not that would make it different.
Hi David! No, I didn’t mix any eggs to the beef; they go to making the crust. But I cooked the beef with garlic and onion. Hope this helps!
Is it possible to use something to substitute for the eggs?
Hayley, I’ve never made it with an egg substitute, but I beat egg beaters would work. 🙂
I made this for the first time tonight. It is not bad and I do not rate recipes that I change. I can see this would be great for kids. I will make it again and bump up seasonings. It needs ketchup and mustard just to mimic the cheeseburger taste. It was very easy, I baked mine in a convection toaster oven and it turned out beautifully brown. I lowered the temp and baked for a little less time.
Hi Mary!
Thanks for the input. Yes, this is a great recipe for kids and the beauty of it is that its so easy to tweak to suit your family’s taste.
Made it last night and I it turned out well and tasted even better, and is really easy, even have some left for today.
Hi Gary! So happy you enjoyed the cheeseburger pie. It’s one of my favorite, easy, go-to dinners. You also might like my hamburger hash. Another really yummy easy favorite.
Delicious!! And so easy!!!
I totally agree <3
Does anyone know how you make this for serving 75 to 100 people?
I want to double this. Would there be a problem with doubling everything (including meat) and bake in a 9×13 pan?
Hi Gao. I think that should work out just fine 🙂
I have made these for years, BUT, I always called them “Impossible ___________ Pie.” My husband just pointed out that Betty Crocker calls them all “IMpossibly Easy ___________ Pie.” I *cannot* believe I’ve had it wrong all of my life!
DID BETTY CHANGE IT TO IMPOSSIBLY from IMPOSSIBLE????
Well, whatever it’s called it’s delicious!!
Bisquick original recipe says “Impossible Cheeseburger Pie”–I still have the recipe I cut from the box many years ago. Maybe Betty Crocker is the one who changed it. 😉
Been making this for YEARS but since I had some cooked pasta shells with beef and tomato sauce, I put that in, too.
Wow, really nice.
That sounds delicious Sharon! I’ve been making it forever too! It’s always such a hit with everyone around the dinner table. My kids were always excited when this was for supper <3
Thinking about using fried onion things ( frenches sells them in a can.). Would you add them after the topping and before the cheese or after the cheese?
Hey Melodie. I LOVE those little fried onions. I think its a genius idea!! I’d add them after the pie is done baking and just pop it back in the oven 5ish minutes, just to heat them up. Just keep and eye on it because the onion burn fairly easily. <3
Made this tonight and it was quite good. My oven runs hot so I cooked for only 30 minutes. Do let it rest for the full 10 minutes although that is tough because it smells so damn good!
A geat recipe, took to a family reunion, they enjoyed it. thanks.
So happy to hear you liked the Cheeseburger Pie! Thanks for sharing!
